Description

An anchor identifies a single spot in the content. This may serve as the target for a cross reference, for example, from a Link. The Anchor element may occur almost anywhere.

Anchor has the Role attribute and all of the common attributes except Lang.

Processing expectations

Anchor has no content and generally produces no output. It is a link target.

Attributes

pagenum

PageNum indicates the page on which the anchor occurs in some printed version of the document.

The PageNum attribute does not influence the pagination or page numbering of an SGML application processing the document; it is informative, not declarative.

link, olink, ulink, xref.
