Page Mapping Using toc.ncx

In my brief research I've found that adobe's method of page mapping is non standard and frowned upon by epub checkers. I discovered the preferred method is to use <pageList> under <navMap> in the toc.ncx, as described here.

Quote:
<pageList id="page-mapping">

<navLabel><text>Paper Edition Page Mapping</text></navLabel>

<pageTarget id="page-iii" value="3" type="front" playOrder="82">
<navLabel><text>Page iii</text></navLabel>
<content src="frontmatter.html#pageiii"/>
</pageTarget>

<!-- ... -->

<pageTarget id="page-105" value="105" type="normal" playOrder="192">
<navLabel><text>Page 105</text></navLabel>
<content src="chap5.html#page105"/>
</pageTarget>

</pageList>
My difficulty now is I don't understand how or where you add the anchors to mark where the pages begin in the xhtml files themselves.
