body
After the head
and intro
elements, there
must be one body
element. This is the body of the
document.
The body may be divided into chapters, or parts, or tomes, depending
on the documentation project that is started. Tomes are delimited with
the element tomeheading
, that contains the tome title;
parts are delimited using the element partheading
, with the
same meaning.
Chapters and lower sectioning are a little anonymous, like HTML:
h1
, h2
, h3
and h4
.
This is done that way because introduction, body and appendix may have
the same method for text sectioning.
<body> <partheader>Networking</partheader> <h1>IP protocol history</h1> <p>Bla bla bla...</p> <p>Bla bla bla...</p> <h2>ISO/OSI model</h2> <p>Bla bla bla...</p> <p>Bla bla bla...</p> <h1>IPv4 and IPv6</h1> <p>Bla bla bla...</p> <p>...</p> </body>
Every sectioning element, from tome to last sub-subsection, have an
optional attribute: id
. This attribute may be used to
define an identification string that can be the target for cross
references.
<h1 id="ip history">IP protocol history</h1>
Note that due to Texinfo design limitations, cross references labels cannot contain the comma.
