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

<book-back>

Book Back Matter

Material published with a book but following the narrative flow, for example appendices and lists of references.

Remarks

Usage: Back matter typically contains supporting material such as an appendix, acknowledgment, glossary, or bibliographic reference list. In the Beta 0.2 version of this Tag Set, this element differed from the <back> element in being able to contain book parts (<book-part>).

The <sec> element can be used within the <back> to contain material that has not been explicitly named as one of the other back matter components, for example, a table that is not named explicitly as an appendix or a glossary.

Related Elements

Books and book parts do not use the same element for their back matter. Books may contain a <book-back> element, which may contain <book-part> elements. Book parts may contain a <back> element, which cannot contain any <book-part> elements.

A BITS <book> may be divided into several components:

  1. the <book-meta> (the bibliographic information about the entire book);
  2. the <front-matter> (the narrative front matter of a book or book part such as a Preface);
  3. the <book-body> (the textual and graphical content of the book); and
  4. any <book-back> (any ancillary information such as a glossary, reference list, or appendix).
