<body> Body of a Book Part

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

Usage/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 material. Books typically contain a <book-body> element, which may only contain <book-part> elements. In contrast, book parts typically contain a <body> element, similar to that of journal articles, and this <body> may contain text and sections, but may also contain <book-part> elements.
