Description

BiblioDiv is a section of a Bibliography. A bibliography might be divided into sections in order to group different types of sources together, like books, journal articles, web sites, and so on.

A bibliography may contain any number of BiblioEntry or BiblioMixed elements or any number of BiblioDivs, but it cannot contain a mixture of both at the same level.

Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block. Some systems may display only those entries within a BiblioDiv that are cited in the containing document. This may be an interchange issue. See Appendix F, Interchanging DocBook Documents.

Parents

These elements contain bibliodiv: bibliography.

Attributes

status

Status identifies the editorial or publication status of the BiblioDiv.

Publication status might be used to control formatting (for example, printing a “draft” watermark on drafts) or processing (perhaps a document with a status of “final” should not include any components that are not final).

Examples

For examples, see bibliography.
