Description

This field is stored as a single text string in the database but is presented as two text fields to fill in a from and a to. The text between the two fields is set using the lib/metafield:to phrase.

When the two fields are saved to the database a - is added between the from and a to fields so 5 and 10 becomes 5-10. This would then be rendered in a citation using lib/metafield/pagerange:range, by default pp. 5-10. If only the from field is entered or is the same as the to field then the citation would be rendered using lib/metafield/pagerange:from_page or lib/metafield/pagerange:same_page respectively. By default: p. 5, if from field is 5.
