Very interesting article by @mpe: “New Leaves: Riffling the History of Digital Pagination” https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/872063
A great complement to @CerstinMahlow’s and my reflection on “Academic writing and publishing beyond documents” https://doi.org/10.1145/3558100.3563840
@CerstinMahlow @mpe I really like the analysis, but reading the mention of keyboards and the various keys related to pages (in particular Page Up and Page Down) I think it’s important to remember that other systems also used different labels (e.g., Prev and Next) and that the keys (when present) were sometimes arranged horizontally. I think one also should discuss block-mode terminals, which—unlike character-oriented and bitmap-oriented displays do have an intrinsic notion of “page.”
