This element holds the first page, or the first and last pages of a range of pages, that identify the relevant text in a referenced book, government publication, periodical issue, or conference proceedings. Clearly, if both child elements are present, the last page number should be larger than the first page number.

The elements listed below may directly contain this element. They are "parent" elements. Elements in referenced groups are included, up to two levels of group nesting.

Parent elements: <ref-book> <ref-conf> <ref-govpub> <ref-periodic>
