The start-tag is required for this element. The end-tag is optional, if your SGML declaration allows minimization.
BeginPage marks a page break in a print version of a work that may be displayed online. It is without content, but has common and PageNum attributes.
The value of PageNum, which is not required, should be the folio (page number) of the page beginning at that point.
Once you give a PageNum to a BeginPage, subsequent BeginPages should be assumed to indicate that value incremented by one per BeginPage. You can indicate a change or reset in page numbering by providing a PageNum value for a later BeginPage.
BeginPage, like IndexTerm, is handled as an SGML inclusion. To generalize, if you parse a DocBook instance that has as its doctype a structure smaller than Sect1 or RefEntry, your SGML parser will not pick up the inclusion, and you will have to include a modification of the doctype element in the document type declaration, or redefine the element in your customization layer.
These elements contain BeginPage at all levels by inclusion.Appendix, Article, Book, Chapter, Part, PartIntro, Preface, RefEntry, Reference, Sect1, Set, and SimpleSect
PageNum is the number of the page on which a given element begins or occurs in a printed book.
