<body>

Body of a Book Part

Main textual portion of the book part (such as a chapter or Dedication) that conveys the narrative content.

Remarks

The <body> of a book component cannot repeat, but it takes a @specific-use attribute. This attribute can be used to indicate a very unusual book part body <body>, not the typical tagged narrative content. For example, a <body> might take a @specific-use attribute to indicate that the <body> is an untagged “bag of words” for indexing purposes, the <body> contains just undifferentiated OCR content, or the <body> is (artificially) tagged as a single paragraph which is acting as a text dump.

Related Elements

Books and book parts do not use the same element for their narrative body matter. Books may contain a <book-body> element, which contains only <book-part> elements. Book parts may contain a <body> element, which contains text and sections and can also contain other <book-part> elements.
