lang-variant-custom Language Variant Custom (multi-language)

When the values of @lang-variant are insufficient to describe the relationship between the language variants, this attribute may be used to allow the JATS user to specify their own relationship.

Usage/Remarks

Language Groups: In JATS, members of a language group use the @lang-group attribute to point to the @id of one of their members, binding the group together.

Value Meaning
