Subdivisions
Encoding for subdivisions in entries, planned for v2.
Use <div> codes with the appropriate
@type to indicate subdivisions of long entries. Use
<head> for section headings.
@type value |
level | usage |
|---|---|---|
| entry | 1 | The outermost tag for the entire entry. See Page Numbers. |
| section | 2 | A subdivision nested within an entry. |
| subsection | 3-∞ | A subdivision nested with a section or a subsection. |
| index | 2 | An index section for an entry. |
If a section has both a heading and a subheading immediately following, but
there are no subsections, then add @type="sub" to
<head> instead of creating a new <div>. If
a section has multiple subsections, then use <div>s to
define them.
This is a minimalist encoding scheme that leaves room for further
refinement, with additional <div>s for things like poems and
quotes. For now, we are just trying to encode the sections already identified in the
entry by the author.
Example:
<div type="entry">
<p><label>STEAM</label></p>
<div type="section">
<head>SECTION I — THE GENERAL NATURE OF STEAM.</head>
. . .
<div type="subsection">
<head>Pressurization</head>
. . .
</div>
</div>
</div>
