DRAFT Book Interchange Tag Suite (BITS) Tag Library Version 0.2 Beta

<preface>

Preface

A named book component that contains text which is called a “Preface”; each publisher is free to define that term.

Note: A publisher could choose to call this component just another <book-part>, but many publishers specifically identify dedications, so this element was included in the BITS Book Tag Set.
