from(from) specifies the starting point of the location in a normalized form, typically a page number.
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.word

character data
Note

The target attribute should only be used to point to elements that contain or indicate a transcription of the locus being described, as in the ‘Ben Jonson’ example.

To associate a locus element with a page image or other comparable representation, the global facs attribute should be used, as shown in the ‘Birds Praise of Love’ example. The facs attribute may be used to indicate one or more image files, as in that example, or alternatively it may point to one or more appropriate XML elements, such as the surface, zone, graphic, or binaryObject elements.

When a single page is being cited, use the from and to attributes with an identical value. When no clear endpoint is provided, the from attribute may be used without to; for example a citation such as ‘p. 3ff’ might be encoded <locus from="3">p. 3ff</locus>.

Example

<!-- within ms description --><msItem n="1">
 <locus target="#F1r #F1v #F2rfrom="1r"
  to="2r">
ff. 1r-2r</locus>
 <author>Ben Jonson</author>

 <rubric rend="italics"> An Ode<lb/> to him selfe.</rubric>

 <bibl>
  <name>Beal</name>, <title>Index 1450-1625</title>, JnB 380</bibl>
</msItem>
<!-- within transcription ... -->
<pb xml:id="F1r"/>
<!-- ... -->
<pb xml:id="F1v"/>
<!-- ... -->

<!-- ... -->
Example

The facs attribute is available globally when the transcr module is included in a schema. It may be used to point directly to an image file, as in the following example:

<msItem>
 <locus facs="images/08v.jpg images/09r.jpg images/09v.jpg images/10r.jpg images/10v.jpg">fols. 8v-10v</locus>
 <title>Birds Praise of Love</title>
 <bibl>
  <title>IMEV</title>
  <biblScope>1506</biblScope>
 </bibl>
</msItem>
