Description

BiblioMSet is a "cooked" wrapper for a collection of bibliographic information.

The purpose of this wrapper is to assert the relationship that binds the collection. For example, in a BiblioMixed entry for an article in a journal, you might use two BiblioMSets to wrap the fields related to the article and the fields related to the journal.

Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block.

BiblioMSets are "cooked." In addition to named fields, they can contain interspersed #PCDATA to provide punctuation and other formatting information.

The processing system is generally expected to present each and every element in the set, all interspersed #PCDATA, in the order in which it occurs.

(4.0) Future Changes

AuthorBlurb and Affiliation will be removed from the inline content of BiblioMSet in DocBook V4.0. A new wrapper element will be created to associate this information with authors, editors, and other contributors.

(5.0) Future Changes

BiblioSet will be removed from the content model of BiblioMSet. Allowing a "raw" container inside a "cooked" one confuses processing expectations.

Parents

These elements contain BiblioMSet: BiblioMixed, BiblioMSet.
