Attributes

Common attributes and common linking attributes.

Description

The cover element contains additional material to be printed on the cover of a publication. Multiple cover elements may be used to hold material for the inside and outside front and back covers, the spine, dust jackets, etc.

Because there is likely to be great variation in the number of covers, and the means by which the cover elements are processed, DocBook does not attempt to define semantics for their order or relationship to one another.

The title, authors, and other bibliographic metadata that appears in the info element should not be repeated inside the cover. The intent is merely that cover can contain any additional material required.

Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block. Sometimes suppressed.

Parents

These elements contain cover: biblioentry, bibliomixed, bibliomset, biblioset, info (db.info), info (db.titleforbidden.info), info (db.titleonly.info), info (db.titleonlyreq.info), info (db.titlereq.info).

Children

This element contains 45 elements.
