Gravity - Create a Page Type Variable

A Variable type page is created to automate and calculate page numbering both in spreadsheet
and editor objects.

In order to create it, a user needs to define a placeholder for the number in the
target object, the placeholder will be two characters ## (if the variable is a one-digit number, only
one character will insert #) that must be inserted to a cell in a spreadsheet, or into an editor.

There is no need to insert placeholder characters when creating source variables for a page because we
just want to define the location of the text, that we want to reference with a page number.

Once a report is generated, the variable that was created will turn into an actual number. The order of the numbers is depending on the order of the objects in the tree structure.
