Article XML
The article XML file contains the XML markup for an article. This includes the "metadata" used to present the article online, and will normally include the full content of the article. The root element for all article XML is <article>. Article XML contains three distinct sections:
- <front>
- The front section contains metadata about the article. All information that appears on the article opening page (other than the beginning of the article text) should be tagged within <front>.
- <body>
- The text, tables, figures and other material that make up the content of the article should be tagged within <body>.
- <back>
- References, appendices, and other material that appears at the end of the article should be tagged within <back>.
Alternatively, article XML may be only a header that contains metadata but not the content of the article. The <tf:header> element should be used when creating article XML headers.
