title_body: EPUB 2 NCX How Should I Support pageList?
upvoted_answer: IMHO, you're mixing up the functions of the navMap and pageList sections. The navMap section is used for the TOC display and the pageList section is theoretically used for the display of the page numbers from the printed edition. 
  
  I'm saying theoretically, because I don't know of a single ePub2 app that actually uses this information. 
  
  I.e., you might as well omit the pageList section, unless you plan to convert your ePub2 books to ePub3 books with the optional Sigil ePub3 output plugin, which uses the pageList information for the generation of the ePub3 page-list nav section.
