Usage/Remarks

Related Elements

  1. <processing-meta> (the metadata that concerns the XML file rather than the contents of the document);
  2. <front> (the metadata or header information for the article, such as the title and the published date);
  3. <body> (textual and graphical content of the article); and
  4. <back> (any ancillary information such as a glossary, reference list, or appendix).
