HEAD
(i.e. heading)
Description: contains any heading, for example, the title of a section,
or the heading of a list or glossary.
Attributes:
type: categorizes the heading in some way meaningful to the enco-
der.
Data type: CDATA
Value: A set of user-defined keywords may be employed. Their sig-
nificance should be documented in the header.
Default value: #IMPLIED
This attribute is optional.
Example:
The most common use for the <head> element is to mark the head-
ings of sections. In older writings, the headings or incipits may
be rather longer than usual in modern
works. If a section has an explicit ending as well as a heading,
it should be marked as a <trailer>, as in this example:
<div1 name=book n='I'><head>In the name of Christ here begins
the first book of the ecclesiastical history of Georgius
Florentinus, known as Gregory, Bishop of Tours.</head>
<div2><head>Chapter-Headings</head>
<!-- list of chapter heads omitted ... -->
<div2><head>In the name of Christ here begins Book I of the
history.</head>
<p>Proposing as I do ...
<p>From the Passion of our Lord until the death of Saint Martin
four hundred and twelve years passed.
<trailer>Here ends the first Book, which covers five thousand,
five hundred and ninety-six years from the beginning of the
world down to the death of Saint Martin.</trailer>
</div2>
</div1>
The <head> tag is also used to mark headings of other units, such as
lists:
With a few exceptions, connectives are equally useful in
all kinds of discourse: description, narration, exposition,
argument.
<list type=simple>
<head>Connectives</head>
<item>above
<item>accordingly
<item>across from
<item>adjacent to
<item>again
<item> ...
</list>
Remarks: The <head> tag is used for headings at all levels; processing
programs which treat (e.g.) chapter headings, section headings,
and list titles differently must determine the proper processing
of a <head> element based on its structural position. A <head>
occurring as the first element of a list is the title of that
list; one occurring as the first element of a <div1> is the title
of that chapter or section.
