Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: [jats-list] Tagging page information in flow of a document

["Latterner, Martin (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [E] latternm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To share an observation, not a recommendation:

I oftentimes see <target> being used for page numbers: <target
target-type="page" id="p6">VI</target>

Hi Jan,

Maybe you can use something like <milestone-start rationale="page"
id="p-14"/> and establish a convention that the page number is encoded in the
ID.

Alternatively you can put the page number in <named-content
content-type="page-number" id="p-14">14</named-content> and make sure that it
isn't treated as part of the normal text flow.

Both elements can only be used inline, so you need to put them, for example,
at the beginning of the section title if the page starts with this section,
rather than between two <sec> elements.

When full-text indexing the content, you might want to strip away these
elements before tokenizing. Or you might want to move these pagination
milestones to the end of each token so that you know on which page each word
was. Or for rendering HTML, if you convert the milestones to <a id="...">
anchor elements, it might be advisable to move them from the middle of a word
to the beginning. Or to establish a practice not to put the page break
information between the exact characters where the page break occurred but to
the beginning or end of the word.

Calculating the page number that a given piece of rendered content is on can
also be a bit expensive when dealing with milestone elements. If you use XSLT
2+ (or Xquery 1+) for rendering, the >> and << operators can be used as in
($all-page-milestones[. >> current()])[1] to find which of the pagination
milestones comes next. This should be sufficiently efficient.
