Related Elements

There are several elements concerned with the title of a book or the title of a book component. Such titles are contained within either the container element <book-title-group> (inside the <book-meta>) or the container element <title-group> (inside book parts, Tables of Contents, Indexes, et al.):

• The <book-title> is the full title of the entire book in the original language of the document.
• Book parts, such as a Dedication, a chapter, an appendix, an Index, or a Table of Contents, use the element <title> for their full titles in the original language of the document.
• The <subtitle> is a subordinate or auxiliary title that adds information to one of the full titles or modifies a full title. Subtitles may modify either <book-title>s or structural <title>s.
• The <alt-title> is another version of a book title or a structural title, usually created so that the title can be processed in a special way, for example, a short version of the title for use in a Table of Contents, an ASCII title, a title without equations, or a version of the title to be used in the right-running-head.
• The <trans-title-group> is also a container element (inside either a <book-title-group> or a <title-group>) that holds together a translated title (<trans-title>) and its translated subtitle (<trans-subtitle>). The translated title is a version of the title translated into a language other than the original language of publication, and the matching subtitle is a version of the subtitle translated into a language other than the original language.
