Description
Parse pageDigits as 1-128 decimal digits and add the signed decimal-integer increment exactly, requiring a nonnegative result.
Source-scoped cultural and historical records preserve an edition, naming convention, or local identifier. Literal agreement is useful bookkeeping but does not establish interpretation, authenticity, or authority.

When to use this tool
Use Archival Page Sequence Increment when you need a precise source-token or range consistency check.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter pageDigits, increment, preserveWidth. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read result, widthChanged. Inspect widthChanged before interpreting the associated values.
Parse pageDigits as 1-128 decimal digits and add the signed decimal-integer increment exactly, requiring a nonnegative result. Optionally pad to original width and report whether output width changed.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| pageDigits | 1-128 decimal digits; leading zeros accepted. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Integer syntax: optional + or - and 1-128 decimal digits; leading zeros accepted. Apply the sign restriction above. |
| increment | Signed exact decimal-integer string under the supported grammar. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. Integer syntax: optional + or - and 1-128 decimal digits; leading zeros accepted. Apply the sign restriction above. |
| preserveWidth | Preserve Width | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| result | Resulting page-number string, optionally zero-padded to the original width. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| widthChanged | Width Changed | Required. Boolean. |

"input": {
"pageDigits": "0099",
"increment": "1",
"preserveWidth": true
},
"output": {
"result": "0100",
"widthChanged": false
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Leading zeros are retained only under preserveWidth; numbering is numeric and does not resolve foliation, missing pages, mixed labels, or source authenticity.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
