Q: What are these weird little numbers, like the one just to the right?
A: With this issue, we have begun to provide paragraph numbers in some long articles so that scholars and reviewers can refer to a specific section of a document when they wish to give an accurate citation. They can’t refer to a page number, which is what they usually do with books. Page numbers as such do not really exist in HTML files like this one. Please see our style guide for a long explanation of that conundrum. These numbers are not hyperlinks, and they don’t “do” anything. The ones on this page are just samples.

James Sherry: «The Grand Piano» Project:
…an ongoing experiment in collective autobiography by ten writers identified with Language poetry in San Francisco. It takes its name from a coffeehouse at 1607 Haight Street, where from 1976–79 the authors took part in a reading and performance series. The writing project, begun in 1998, was undertaken as an online collaboration, first via an interactive web site and later through a listserv.
