Description
A set
is a collection of
book
s. Placing multiple book
s 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 set
s can contain other
set
s, 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 setindex
s) around the book
s
it contains.
Attributes
Common attributes and common linking attributes.
- label
Specifies an identifying string for presentation purposes
- status
Identifies the editorial or publication status of the element on which it occurs
