Description
A titleabbrev
holds an abbreviated version of a
title
. One common use of titleabbrev
is for the
text used in running headers or footers, when the proper title is too
long to be used conveniently.
Titles are so common, and so often the only “info” elements
associated with their parent, that they (title
,
subtitle
, and titleabbrev
) are allowed outside
the info
element. This is a tradeoff favoring author
convenience over a small amount of additional complexity in
processing. However, the title elements must either all be outside of
the info
wrapper or all inside, you cannot have some
outside and some inside.
Processing expectations
May be formatted inline or as a displayed block, depending on context. Abbreviated titles are usually used only in specific contexts, such as headers and footers, and are suppressed everywhere else.
