Section 36.2 Notes and Commentary
The
<commentary>
element is designed primarily for the purpose of adding material to a document to make an enhanced version (see Section 27.2). It is similar in many ways to a <paragraphs>
in that it can be placed within any division and must be titled.Other distinctions are:
- Since it is often elective, you need to be careful about cross-references to and from a
<commentary>
. It is highly likely that you will want to make cross-references within a<commentary>
pointing to other portions of your text, and this is always a good idea. You will want to avoid making cross-references to a<commentary>
from other parts of the text, with the exception of a cross-reference that originates within some<commentary>
. - Numbered items are prohibited within a
<commentary>
, such as a<figure>
or a<theorem>
. Doing so would disrupt consecutive numbering in different versions, with or without,<commentary>
included. Numbered equations are not prohibited in the schema, but should definitely be avoided anyway.
