[treblet]

I have a booklength manuscript. The front matter should have roman numeral
page numbers. The text begins with no number on the first page 2 on the
second and so on through several sections.
Does the index pick up the assigned page number (i, ii, and 2, 3, etc)? Or
does it pick up what it thinks is the consecutive pages. If so the reference
in the index will be to the wrong page as per the page number.
Is it, therefore, necessary to break the front matter into a separate
document?
