The Rubric Heading

The rubric heading of the respective issue is located in the <front> area of the TEI document. It is enclosed with the <titlePage> element, which gets the attribute value pair @type="heading" to indicate that the rubric heading or nameplate does not comprise an entire title page as usual.

The title of the newspaper or magazine issue is enclosed within von <titlePage> with the <docTitle> element. The individual parts of the title can be found within <docTitle> in single <titlePart> elements. In doing so <titlePart> gets the attribute @type with the possible values "main" (main title) and "sub" (subtitle).

An imprimatur at the beginning of the front matter is reproduced within the <docTitle> element in the <titlePart> element, which gets the attribute value pair @type="jImprimatur" specific for newspapers/magazines. If the imprimatur is at the end of the front matter or at the end of the issue, it is enclosed with the <div type="imprimatur"> element.

Notes on the print are given in the <docImprint> element. The date of the issue is in the subelement <docDate>, the place of publication in the subelement <pubPlace> and the possible specification of the print shop (flag) in the subelement <publisher>. (Cf. chapter: Title page.)

Attention: If the imprint is not at the beginning, but at the end of the issue, it is encoded at the place of its occurrence with the element <div type="imprint">. (Cf. chapter: Appendix.)
