Queries

The <tf:query> element should be used to tag queries on an article during production. Queries are typically added by the copyeditor or production editor and directed to the author, and may also be directed to the copyeditor, production editor, or typesetter. Queries should be resolved and removed during the production process. All query elements must be removed before the article is published in final form.

The <tf:query> element may be placed paragraph text, and in most places where phrase-level elements (such as <bold>) are allowed. Each query should be given an identifier that is unique within the article. For example:

<tf:query id="q0001">Change to "patients and their families" okay?</tf:query>
