PreliminaryDTD

Instead of describing an entire DTD in detail, we should add tags to this ``example'' XML layout until we thing 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 symantic 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 <reference> <author>Richard Stallman</author> <title>General Public License</title> <proceedings></proceedings> <book></book> <journal></journal> <periodical></periodical> <date></date> </reference>.
