Description
Parts segment a book into divisions. Each division can contain a number of component-level elements, such as Chapters.
Attributes
- Label
Label specifies an identifying string for presentation purposes. The first Part in a Book might be labeled "Part I", for example.
Generally, an explicit Label attribute is used only if the processing system is incapable of generating the label automatically. If present, the Label is normative; it will used even if the processing system is capable of automatic labelling.
- Status
Status identifies the editorial or publication status of the Part.
Publication status might be used to control formatting (for example, printing a "draft" watermark on drafts) or processing (perhaps a document with a status of "final" should not include any components that are not final).
Examples
The following example comes from Java in a Nutshell:
<!DOCTYPE part PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN"> <part label="II"> <title>Programming with the Java API</title> <partintro> <para> The sections in Part II present real-world examples of programming with Java.
