Attributes

Pagenum

PageNum is the number of the page on which a given element begins or occurs in a printed book.

Examples

<PARA>There is an Anchor <ANCHOR ID="ch05-061-AN-7" pagenum="1040"> in 
this sentence, with a PageNum attribute indicating the page 
on which the Anchor falls in some print version of the document.
You can link to that Anchor with an XRef or any of the varieties
of link.  Anchor contributes nothing to the flow of text within
which it occurs; it only marks a point within the flow.
