[Feature Request] Site counter with max. site numbers depending on section

[gituser789]

The original DFG rtf template contains a page count with maximum pages, depending on the sections.
https://www.dfg.de/formulare/53_01_elan/53_01_de_elan.rtf

So the user can directly see, if there are too many pages written within a sections part.

the limits are

• section 1-3: max. 17 pages
  
• section 4+5: max. 8 pages
  

Is there a way to implement max. pages to the existing page count into the latex template?

My interpretation of the maximum numbers is for the writer not to exceed. I would use two independent numbering schemes, each mentioning the real total number.

Good suggestion, thanks! I'll look into the corresponding PR asap!

[hoelzer]

Alright, I had a look and agree w/ @kss-lea . It makes also more sense to me to not write the maximum allowed number of pages but instead showing the actual number of max pages in the two sections (the writer should be aware of the max number allowed). I also like the switch to a different numbering scheme for the supplemental part.

@gituser789 what do you think? Can you adjust your running PR #32 accordingly to just implement the literature feature (#31) ? I would then merge @kss-lea PR #33 first and then yours (#32) to also add the new literature feature.

Thanks both!

[gituser789]

Yes, I agree. PR #32 is up-to-date.

Great, thx!
