<fpage>

First Page

The page number on which a <book-part> starts, for print documents that have page numbers.

Remarks

The <fpage> element is used in two contexts:

  1. As a part of the metadata concerning a book component such as a chapter; and
  2. As part of bibliographic references (<element-citation> or <mixed-citation>).

Electronic-only documents traditionally do not have page numbers and use the <elocation-id> element instead of using the <fpage> or <lpage> elements.

Related Elements

A number of elements in the Suite relate to page numbers:

Note: The <page-range> is intended to record supplementary information and should not be used in the place of the <fpage> and <lpage> elements, which are typically needed for citation matching. The <page-range> element is merely a text string, containing such material as “8-11, 14-19, 40”, which would mean that the article began on page 8, ran through 11, skipped to page 14, ran through 19, and concluded on page 40.
