Determine the value to be assigned to the specified cs1|2 |page= or |pages= parameter in {{London Gazette}}.
The arguments |param=page and |param=pages specify which of the cs1|2 parameters |page= or |pages= for which this
function is to create a value.
This function inspects the content of the |page= and |pages= parameters, along with the |param= specifier. From
this information it creates a value appropriate for the specified |page= or |pages= parameter. Only one will
have a value, the other will get an empty string.
This function is called twice from {{London Gazette}}; once for each of cs1 |page= and |pages= parameters:
|page={{#invoke:Gazette util|make_page_param|param=page|page={{{page|}}}|pages={{{pages|}}}}}
|pages={{#invoke:Gazette util|make_page_param|param=pages|page={{{page|}}}|pages={{{pages|}}}}}
except for the lvalue and the rvalue assigned to |param=, the two calls must be identical else odd results.
|page= or |pages= without a comma, hyphen, or en dash separator → cs1 |page=
|page= or |pages= with a separator → cs1 |pages=
Hyphen separator characters are converted to en dash characters. Any white space around hyphen and en dash
separators is removed.
If both |page= and |pages= are set, this function mimics cs1|2 and chooses |page=.
Another function, page_error() is required for error messaging because we don't want to dump css markup into a
parameter value that will be included in the cs1|2 metadata.

Inspect page number parameters and return an error message that will be appended to the end of the {{cite magazine}}

citation's metadata.

sets the page number element of the url path according to |page= or |pages=, and the value assigned to |supp=
parameter. This function assumes that supplements may have page numbering that are digits prefixed with one or
two letters: B1, B41, RH2, etc; also assumes that regular issues have digit-only page numbers.
Only limited |supp= values will set the page number path element. These are: 'y' or a number 1-99.
From issue 1610–1619 the gazette has both digit page numbers and digit + alpha page numbers. It appears that the
issue numbers did not advance properly in this period so the website has page numbers like '1.a' and '3.a.a' plus
the usual digit page number '1', '3', etc for all of issues 1610–1619. There were no supplements during this period
so this function handles the 1610–1619 issues separately. The alpha character is always 'a' and is always separated
from the digits and other alpha by a dot.
