Parts segment a book into divisions. Each division can
contain a number of component-level elements, such as Chapters.
Label specifies an identifying string for presentation purposes. The first Part in a
Book might be labeled “Part I”, for example.
Generally, an explicit Label attribute is
used only if the processing system is incapable of generating the label
automatically. If present, the Label
is normative; it will used even
if the processing system is capable of automatic labelling.
Status identifies the editorial or publication
status of the Part.
Publication status might be used to control formatting (for example, printing a “draft” watermark on drafts) or processing (perhaps a document with a status of “final” should not include any components that are not final).
The following example comes from Java in a Nutshell:
<!DOCTYPE part PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd">
<part label="II">
<title>Programming with the Java API</title>
<partintro>
<para>
The sections in Part II present real-world examples of
programming with Java. You can study and learn from the
examples, and you can adapt them for use in your own programs.
