Overview

The Codex and MSPage types are specialized types of physical objects: individual pages related to a codex
each is a citable object, so MSPage can used in a triple set
page gives you relation to rest of codex

Example: codex

we’ll use an example from test/assets directory of package gh repo, and will instantiate from a CEX source using fromcex (from CitableBase q.v)

f = joinpath(repo, "test", "assets", "burney86-sample.cex")

using CitablePhysicalText, CitableBase
mss = fromcex(f, Codex, FileReader)
