You have to provide the template yourself using the [more-list]. The
pages by default display "1", "2", etc.

This would not be too difficult to do with something like:

[tmp more_string]
[more-list]
[page-anchor]~~$PAGE$~~[/page-anchor]
[more]
[/more-list]
[/tmp]

[calc]
	my $ml = 10;
	my $more_num_sub = sub {
		my $page = shift;
		$page_max = $ml * $page;
		$page_min = $page_max - $ml + 1;
		return $page_min . '-' . $page_max;
	};

	$Scratch->{more_string} =~ s/\~\~(\d+)\~\~/$more_num_sub->($1)/ge;
	return $Scratch->{more_string};
[/calc]

We might consider offering this as an intrinsic anchor type with
a $MINPAGE$ and $MAXPAGE$ substitution for these numbers. I will put
that on my minor todo list.
