>From the DAISY 2.02 Specification available at: http://www.daisy.org/publications/specifications/daisy_202.html 2.1.7 Page numbers Page references are provided in DAISY 2.02 DTB´s to support navigation to pages by the end users. Pages occurring in the DTB are represented by the <span> element. The <span> element identifies the beginning of the page. The content of the <span> element is the page number as it appears in the print book. Note - It is recommended that blank pages which are a part of the numeric page sequence in the book be marked with a <span> element representing the sequential number for that page. The general syntax of the <span> element is: <span class="value" id="value"><a href="smil#fragment">span content</a></span> The <span> element must contain the following elements: a As defined in section 2.1.10 The <span> element must contain the following attributes: id As defined in section 2.1.9 class As defined in section 2.1.7.1 2.1.7.1 Valid class attribute values for pages Values for the class attributes occurring on the <span> element when used for pages are: page-front The class attribute "page-front" indicates pages at the front of the book before the page numbering sequence for the body of the book begins. page-normal The class attribute "page-normal" indicates pages that have a normal scheme that starts at 1 and continues to the back matter or to the end of the book. It is very important to note that the content of normal page numbers must be the ascii value of a positive whole number. Players will use this positive integer for navigation purposes. page-special The class attribute "page-special" indicates pages that are not front matter, that do not follow the traditional sequential numbering system used in many printed publications, or, that are separate and apart from the sequential numbering system used throughout the book. An example of this is compound page numbers which may be composed of alpha and numeric combinations reflecting the number of the part and/or chapter, the numeric sequence within that part or chapter, as well as a separator and/or suffix. For example, page '1-15b' could represent section 1, page 15, second inserted page (it would immediately follow page '1-15a' and appear at a point before page '1-16' or '2-1'.)" -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina@afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 Chair, Accessibility SIG Open Electronic Book Forum (OEBF) http://www.openebook.org
