The page range is a set of numbers separated by commas, ranges of
- numbers separated dashes, or combinations of those. The character
- &ldquo;z&rdquo; represents the last page. Pages can appear in any
- order. Ranges can appear with a high number followed by a low
- number, which causes the pages to appear in reverse. Repeating a
- number will cause an error, but you can use the workaround
