Usage: This element is a very unregulated container that may hold a description of the source, name of the author, formal thanks, copyright material, or other information.
Display/Formatting Note: The contents of this element are typically displayed on a separate line (or lines), following the material it concerns, thus inheriting that material’s margins.

<verse-line>Some say in ice.</verse-line>
