Attribution

Container element for information concerning the origin of an extract, display quote, poetry, or similar element.

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.

Display quote used to tag an epigraph with a typical text attribution:
    ...
<body>
<disp-quote>
<preformat>... who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover&rsquo;d country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?</preformat>
<attrib>William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III,
Scene IV</attrib>
</disp-quote>
<p>Shakespeare well understood the underpinning of
our society&rsquo;s tenacious need to cling to life:

acknowledge death is part of nature&rsquo;s cycle,
but even as we do so, we struggle ...</p>
