Description
Split a simple page token into alphabetic prefix and digit text.
Bibliographic records connect authors, versions, publication dates and locators through explicit identifiers. Literal comparisons and counts help reconcile those records but do not retrieve publications, authenticate sources or establish the quality or meaning of a citation.
Split a simple page token into alphabetic prefix and digit text.
