Output page numbers
XML editors would sometimes find it useful to be able to refer to the printed page number in the volume. Although you can currently zone page numbers, right now they don't appear anywhere in the TEI output. This would not be a substitute for URNs, just a means of referring back to the scans to check on a typographical feature etc.

I've added the first print page as a milestone to recent xml files and am thinking of making it a step. This is particularly key when using HathiTrust as they use escape characters in their URLs that will not allow us to link to the first page of a work.
The one time I had to add a target to HathiTrust, I was able to do it by generating a stable URL using the box in the left sidebar. (Copy-and-pasting the original URL didn't work for the reason you mentioned.)
Yes it did

Did that get to the right (interior) page?

Cool. I don't think that worked for me previously. I'll check it out for this batch.
@lcerrato We can do this a couple of ways:
- If the page number zone exists and comprises corrected text, we put that text in a <pb or similar.
- We provide a separate box over the page image to enter this data.
The problem with 1 is that you can't give a page number in the cases where either the scan didn't catch the page number or a page number isn't given. the problem with 2 is that people have to do an additional step.
Currently, I'm using @facs attribute to link to the page image sequence number, so we could use '@n' on the same pb element to indicate print page number, I suppose.
