Example | <front> <epigraph> <quote>Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: <q xml:lang="gr">Σίβυλλα τί θέλεις</q>; respondebat illa: <q xml:lang="gr">ὰποθανεῖν θέλω.</q> </quote> </epigraph> <div type="dedication"> <p>For Ezra Pound <q xml:lang="it">il miglior fabbro.</q> </p> </div> </front> |
Example | <front> <div type="dedication"> <p>To our three selves</p> </div> <div type="preface"> <head>Author's Note</head> <p>All the characters in this book are purely imaginary, and if the author has used names that may suggest a reference to living persons she has done so inadvertently. ...</p> </div> </front> |
Note | Because cultural conventions differ as to which elements are grouped as front matter and which as back matter, the content models for the front and back elements are identical. |
