Description
A set is a collection of
books. Placing multiple books in a
set, as opposed to publishing each of them
separately, has the advantage that ID/IDREF links can then be used
across all books.
A set is the top of the DocBook structural
hierarchy. Although sets can contain other
sets, nothing else can contain them.
Processing expectations
Formatted as a displayed block. A set may
generate additional front and back matter (e.g., tables of contents
and setindexs) around the books
it contains.
Attributes
- label
Specifies an identifying string for presentation purposes
- status
Identifies the editorial or publication status of the element on which it occurs
