Page Numbers and Image Numbers

The page numbers of the original and the continuous numbers of the associated digitized copies are reproduced as follows:

<pb facs="#f[image number]" n="[page number]"/>

The page numbers are inserted at the beginning of each page, even if the page number is below the text. If the page number is missing in the original (e. g. unpaginated illustration pages or before new chapters), the page number is supplemented in square brackets in accordance with the count in the book:

<pb facs="#f[image number]" n="[[page number]]"/>

If a page number is printed incorrectly, the wrong number of pages is typed. The corrected page number is in brackets included in the @n attribute. The correct order of the pages in the volume is conveyed by the numbers of the images, which are given consecutively without errors.

<pb facs="#f[image number]" n="[incorrect page number [corrected page number]]"/>

Special features of page numbers such as adornments or brackets are not reproduced.

To link a text page published in the DTA to an external equivalent (e. g. the corresponding page of the source in another digital edition), the @corresp attribute within the <pb> element is used. The value in @corresp is a unique URI that leads to the linked document.

The place where the page number is located on the page, as well as the type of decoration of the page number is usually not documented. However, if this information is to be included in the transcription (level 3), the following expression is used: 

<fw type="pageNum" place="top">[page number top]</fw>
      <fw type="pageNum" place="bottom">[page number bottom]</fw>
