OK, right, didn't think about it that way... Because this functionality would be more about typesetting than about anything else. When you export a doc to LaTeX, you barely

care about the TOC, because that is generated "behind the scenes" from headings only.

But that's exactly what this is about... In LaTeX is would go unnoticed by the exported,

and maybe to export to plain text you would add a form feed (^L, or FF) and increment the page number. I suspect that for ODT there is something to force this too.

Thanks for your view... maybe the design of this feature involves creating a #+PAGE: directive that is translated to a NOP when exporting to HTML and to whatever it needs for other exporters,
