LABEL
Description:
contains the label associated with an item in a list glos-
saries, marks the term being defined. in
Attributes: [None: global and inherited attributes only.]
Example:
Labels are most commonly used for the headwords in glossary
lists; note the use of the global lang attribute to set the
default language of the glossary list to Middle English, and iden-
tify the glosses and headings as modern English or Latin.
<list type=gloss lang=ME>

Labels may also be used to record explicitly the numbers or letters
which mark list items in ordered lists, as in this extract from
Gibbon's Autobiography. In this usage the <label> element is syn-
onymous with the n attribute on the <item> element.
I will add two facts, which have seldom occurred in
the composition of six, or at least of five quartos.
<list type=ordered rend=runon>
<label>(1) <item>My first rough manuscript, without any
intermediate copy, has been sent to the press.
<label>(2) <item>Not a sheet has been seen by any human
eyes, excepting those of the author and the printer:
the faults and the merits are exclusively my own.
</list>
Labels may also be used for other structured list items, as in this
extract from the journal of Edward Gibbon:
<list type=gloss>
<label>March 1757. <item>I wrote some critical observations
upon Plautus.
<label>March 8th. <item>I wrote a long dissertation upon
some lines of Virgil.
<label>June. <item>I saw Mademoiselle Curchod --
<q lang=LA>Omnia vincit amor, et nos cedamus amori.</q>
<label>August. <item>I went to Crassy, and staid two days.
</list>
<list type=gloss>
<label>The fourth volume of the <title>History of the
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire</title>
<item>begun March 1, 1782 -- ended June, 1784.
<label>The fifth volume
<item>begun July, 1784 -- ended May 1, 1786.
<label>The sixth volume
<item>begun May 18, 1786 -- ended June 27, 1787.
