Page
A project page. There are three types of pages: menu, page, popup.
Each page is identified by an id. The id "menu" is reserved for menu pages. If the project supports the orientation mode, pages (of page and menu types) can have two versions with the same id and an orientation that can be portrait or landscape. When opening a page with a specific id, the page with the corresponding id and current orientation will be chosen. If it's missing, the page with same id but different or missing orientation value will be chosen instead.
Pages (of page and menu types) can also have custom gestures defined with the gestures attribute.
