Note

This element should not be used to represent a text which is inserted at an arbitrary point within the structure of another, for example as in an embedded or quoted narrative; the <floatingText> is provided for this purpose.

Example
<text>
 <front>
  <docTitle>
   <titlePart>Autumn Haze</titlePart>
  </docTitle>
 </front>
 <body>
  <l>Is it a dragonfly or a maple leaf</l>
  <l>That settles softly down upon the water?</l>
 </body>
</text>
ExampleThe body of a text may be replaced by a group of nested texts, as in the following schematic:
<text>
 <front>
  <!-- front matter for the whole group -->
 </front>
 <group>
  <text>
   <!-- first text -->
  </text>
  <text>
   <!-- second text -->
  </text>
 </group>
</text>
