Wikipedia:GNE Project Files/Preliminary DTD

Instead of describing an entire DTD in detail, we should

add tags to this ``example XML layout until we think

everything is covered.

<content>

<abstract>This is an abstract.</abstract>

<title>A Title</title>

<subtitle>A Sub Title</subtitle>

This is some content. It goes on and on, and doesn't

really care about what is says. Paragraphs split with

a blank line. 

Like this; I am a new paragraph. I'm pretty short, though.

<subtitle>Another Sub Section</subtitle>

I am some more content. My purpose is to demonstrate some

of the semantic hint tags which we might include. <name>Someone

Else</name> might have a name, associated with a birthday (like,

say, <date>April 13, 1977</date>). They might have been born

in a place such as <place>Calgary, Alberta</place> which 

doesn't have to be a full, canonical place-name.

It might be interesting to specify <jargon>jargon</jargon>

in the content. One might even have a footnote, defined inline

<footnote>This footnote would actually be rendered in a manner

considered good for the medium. For example, at the bottom of 

a printed page.</footnote>.

Although complicated, adding inline LaTeX would be a very

nice future feature:

<latex>

\begin{table}

\end{table}

</latex>

References are a little harder, but defining those inline

as well might be best, as for the GPL
