Book Back Matter

Material published with a book but following the narrative flow, for example, appendices and lists of references.

Remarks

Usage: Back matter typically contains supporting material such as an appendix, acknowledgment, glossary, or bibliographic reference list. In this Tag Set, this element differs from the <back> element in being able to contain book parts (<book-part>).

Related Elements

Books and book parts do not use the same element for their back matter. Books may contain a <book-back> element, which may contain <book-part> elements. Book parts may contain a <back> element, which cannot contain any <book-part> elements.
A BITS <book> may be divided into several components:
  1. the <book-meta> (the bibliographic information about the entire book);
  2. the <front-matter> (the narrative front matter of a book or book part such as a Preface);
  3. the <book-body> (the textual and graphical content of the book); and
  4. any <book-back> (any ancillary information such as a glossary, reference list, or appendix).
