Description
This element is first used to contain the title of the article. It is also then used to supply a title for various components of the article, such sections, figures and formal tables. In all cases, it is the name of the parent element that supplies the context that explains the purpose of the title (see the list of parent elements for the full list of contexts).
Typically, the title is both required and is the first child element of the component. However, it is optional in some of the components, and is not the first child of the two root article elements.
Parent Elements
The elements listed below may directly contain this element. They are "parent" elements. Elements in referenced groups are included, up to two levels of group nesting.
