<title> Title

Heading or title for a structural element (for example, a <sec>, an <app>, or a <boxed-text>).
Related Elements
In the metadata for a book or book-part such as a chapter, there are several elements concerned with the title of a book or 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, etc.):
  • 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.

   <title>Introduction</title>
   <p>Geriatric day hospitals developed rapidly in the United Kingdom 
    in the 1960s as an important component of care provision. The model 
    has since been widely applied in several Western countries. Day 
    hospitals provide multidisciplinary assessment and rehabilitation 
    in an outpatient setting and have a pivotal position between hospital 
    and home based services. ...</p>

  contains descriptor information, such as source organism

  explicit instructions on how to generate the complete
