[Left-Hand (Verso) Page] Continuation of publication history, or blank The publication history can extend to the next page or to as many pages as required. In the example here, the publication history fitted on the first page and so this page is blank. [Right-Hand (Recto) Page] 
Table of Contents The table of contents (TOC) always begins on a right-hand page. The first page of the TOC contains a footer, but no header. If the TOC continues onto a second (or third) page, these pages should contain headers as well as footers. The TOC is the first page in the document to display a page number, but this is not page 1 or even page i. To determine the correct page number, count the number of pages (including blank pages), starting at the title page. If the result is an even number, you have mis-counted. All right-hand pages have an odd page number and since the TOC is on a right-hand page, it must have an odd page number too. Since the TOC is part of the frontmatter of the document, its page numbers are formatted as Roman numerals. So, counting from the title page and assuming that your document contains the same number of pages as the graphical examples in this article, the TOC would begin on page v. If you don't have a publication history in your document, the TOC will most likely begin on page iii. The page number can be placed in either the header or the footer, but I think it is easier for people to find when it is in the footer. Also, I prefer to put the number in the outside corner of the footer rather than in the middle because it is easier to find when flipping through pages. Some writers put the number in the footer of the first page, and in the headers of the remaining pages. The correct name for a page number is folio. If the folio appears at the bottom of the page, it is called a drop folio. If the folio does not appear on a page that is counted (such as the title page), it is called a blind folio. A TOC in a user guide often includes a list of tables and a list of illustrations.
