## Text Encoding Initiative

### The XML Version of the TEI Guidelines

# <pb>

`<pb>` | (page break) marks the boundary between one page of a text and the next in a standard reference system.

Attributes

(In addition to global attributes and those inherited from refsys)

`ed` | (edition) indicates the edition or version in which the page break is located at this point
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: Any string of characters; usually a siglum conventionally used for the edition.
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example:

    <pb n="123" ed="Riverside"/>

Example

Note

On this element, the global `n` attribute indicates the number or other value associated with the page which follows the point of insertion of this `<pb>`. Encoders should adopt a clear and consistent policy as to whether the numbers associated with page breaks relate to the physical sequence number of the page or the page number or signature printed on it. By convention, `<pb>` elements should appear at the start of the page to which they refer.
