<counts> Counts

Container element for counts of a document (for example, number of tables, number of figures, number of words).

Usage/Remarks

Many elements in the base Suite were created explicitly for import conversion, that is, so that the intellectual work of tagging done by publishers would not be discarded when they converted material from another tag set to this Tag Set. The count elements are a perfect example of this rationale; they are conversion elements and should only be tagged if present in the original source.
Related Elements
Inside the <counts> container element are the counts of various components of the book or book part: the generic count element <book-count> (for which the @count-type names what is being counted) and the specific named counting elements: <book-fig-count> is the number of figures, the <book-table-count> is the number of tables, the <book-equation-count> is the number of equations, the <book-ref-count> is either the number of references or (more properly) the number of citations in the bibliographic reference list, the <book-page-count> is the page count, and the <book-word-count> is the number of words in the book or book part.
