<div n="1" type="chapter"> <head type="book">The Romance of Merlin.</head> <head type="label">CHAPTER I</head> <head>CONSULTATION OF DEVILS, AND BIRTH OF MERLIN.</head>
Thoughts?
The book title is at a different level from a chapter title so it gets its own div. If you find multiple chapter titles, you decide which is the main one and which are subtitles.
<div type="book"> <head>The Romance of Merlin</head>
<div type="chapter"> <head type="sub">Chapter I</head> <index index="toc" /> <head>Consultations of Devils, and Birth of Merlin</head>
I want to make sure that I understand how <div type=book> fits into the big picture. Is the following correct? <text> <front> ... table of contents, introduction ... </front> <body> <div type="book"> <head>The Romance of Merlin</head> <div type="chapter"> <head type="sub">Chapter I</head> ... or type="label" <head>Consultations of Devils, and Birth of Merlin</head> If so: 1. I agree that it's consistent, and may be the best TEI-centric solution 2. it introduces a level of hierarchy that some may find confusing Whether #2 is important depends in part on who will be doing the most markup: volunteers who have some HTML experience vs. volunteers who are already TEI savvy (or don't mind the additional complexity).
<head type="sub">Chapter I</head>
I much prefer type=label. "Chapter I" is not a subhead according to the plain meaning of the term. Also, unlike a true subhead, it may be something that some people want to strip out or translate or standardize. -- Cheers, Scott S.
