Hello.

The Preface section of emacs-lisp-intro.pdf is expected to have roman numeral page numbering but the PDF produced doesn’t. The page numbering counts from page 1.

See the following texi file excerpt, see page 13 of 271 in the PDF viewer.

  #+NAME: emacs-lisp-intro.texi
  #+BEGIN_SRC texi -n 223
    @c >>>> Set pageno appropriately <<<<

    @c The first page of the Preface is a roman numeral; it is the first
    @c right handed page after the Table of Contents; hence the following
    @c setting must be for an odd negative number.

    @c iftex
    @c global@pageno = -11
    @c end iftex

  #+END_SRC
