Forms and Encoding of Appendices

All sections of the book that follow after the end of the text (appendices, registers, other additions) are enclosed with the <back> element, which is found after the <body> element in <text>. Rough structuring within the <back> element is carried out using <div> elements whose @type attributes specify the text parts more detailed.

The following values of @type within the <back> area are possible:

@type Value Meaning
postface afterword, closing words, epilogue
contents table of contents
imprint information on the print edition
imprimatur  
index register
corrigenda errata
appendix appendix (e. g. with explanatory figures or tables)
bibliography  
advertisement  

The opening <back> tag directly follows the closing </body> tag, so it is still before every new page break. The endpaper and the back cover are always part of the <back> area.
