First Page

<reference type="other.ms-firstpage" title="first page" href="content.htm#p1" />

The first page link takes the reader from the cover page (shown below) to the first page of the body of the book. Typically, this is the first page of Chapter 1, rather than the first page of the introduction, dedication, or other front matter. For the first page link to function correctly, place the anchor tag <a name="p1"> at the top of the first page the publisher chooses as the first important page of the book. Whether this is literally the first page (such as an Introduction or Acknowledgements page), or is the first page of the body text, is the publisher's choice.

The PocketPC devices do not acknowledge a first-page reference; the link does not appear on the cover page for this platform.
