Basic text structure
Posted by mholmes on 21 Jun 2010 in Activity log, Hit by a bus
The structure of the main document (the <text> element) looks like this:
<text><body>(main text content)<back>(bibliography) </text>
Inside the <body> element are one or more <div>s, which can be nested. Each <div> may begin with a <head> element containing its heading, followed by a series of paragraphs (<p> tags) or other <div>s. A typical structure looks like this:
<div> <head>Introduction</head> <p>Intro paragraph...</p> <p>Intro paragraph...</p> </div> <div> <head>Section 1</head> <div> <head>Section 1.1</head> <p>Para in section 1.1</p> <p>Para in section 1.1</p> </div> <div> <head>Section 1.2</head> <p>Para in section 1.2</p> <p>Para in section 1.2</p> </div> </div> <div> <head>Section 2</head> [...] </div> [...]
The formatting of headings will be handled automatically, according to the APA styleguide, based on the level of nesting.
