What is it?

At the BDMP, we only use the <num> element to indicate pagenumbers. For numbers written (or stamped) on a document by an archivist, please refer to the <floatingText> element.

Important!

The <num> element should always be the direct child of its own <metamark> element, which will need a @function="pagenumber" attribute.

For example:

<pb n="06v"/>
<metamark function="pagenumber"><num>14</num></metamark>

NB: this example shows how the pagenumber we assign to a certain manuscript page (for documentary reasons) may differ from the page number that was written on the page by the author. For more information on the <metamark> tag that surrounds the <num> tag, see <metamark>.
