Milestone elements
Insert a milestone into the XML to provide a marker.
Always capture page milestone elements.
Only capture other types of milestone elements when specifically instructed:
- In the handover form
- Instructions in a manifect document
- Product specific capture instructions
Each milestone element must have an id and unit.
| Value of unit | Description |
|---|---|
| page | Page break. Should immediately follow a ?page? processing instruction. Must have a num attribute containing the page number.
|
| clause-start | Alternate numbering system for text. Must have a num attribute containing the alternate number.
|
| clauseGroup-start | Alternate numbering system for text. Must have a num attribute containing the alternate number.
Only use milestone unit="clauseGroup-start" elements where there is a group of milestone unit="clause-start" elements with a number. The milestone unit="clauseGroup-start" element must be followed immediately by the first of the milestone unit="clause-start" elements. |
| folio |
Indicates pagination from the original work. For unlineated content, capture the milestone where the folio text exists in the content. For lineated content, capture the milestone as the first node of the element, even if the folio text is at the end of the line or in the right margin in the printed version.

| fragment-start | Contains first of paired footnote-style markers found in text.
|
| fragment-end | Contains second of paired footnote-style markers found in text. |
| fragment-marker | Contains footnote-style marker found in text. Can be empty, e.g. when note refers only to a word or phrase in the text
