article-banner |
a descriptive label, usually identifying the type of article (e.g., "Observation", "Book Review"). Article banners typically typically appear above the formal title of an article or review (if there is a formal title). |
|
indexing |
a constructed title that is created for articles (usually book reviews) that do not have a formal title. For book reviews, the indexing title is formed as follows: “Review of” + “content of product/source”. If multiple products are reviewed, all product/source elements should be combined in a single indexing title. <title-group> <alt-title alt-title-type="indexing">Review of <italic>The Garden of Promise</italic> and <The Garden of Eden</italic></alt-title> </title-group> |
|
table-of-contents |
a version of the article title that is unique to the table of contents |
