While encoding texts, the textual hierarchy is being taken into account. Every single text is encoded using the <text> element, which contains a mandatory <body> element. If so desired, any possible (hierarchical) substructure of the text can be encoded through <div> (‘division’) elements, each enclosing one or more <p> (‘paragraph’) elements and complemented with an @type attribute that describes what kind of division is meant.
The type of elements contained by the <text> depends on the type of text that is being encoded. For example, the text of prose usually consists of one or more <p> elements, whereas poetry consists of <lg> (‘line group’) elements that in itself enclose one or more <l> (‘line’) elements. Titles and such can be encoded with a <head> element.
Example:
<text>
<body>
<div type="part">
<head>Opschrift</head>
<p>Tekst van onderdeel</p>
<div type="chapter" n="1">
<head>Opschrift</head>
<p>Tekst van hoofdstuk 1</p>
<div type="section" n="1.1">
<head>Tussenkop</head>
<p>Tekst van paragraaf 1.1</p>
</div>
<div type="section" n="1.2">
<head>Tussenkop</head>
<p>Tekst van paragraaf 1.2</p>
<p>Tekst van paragraaf 1.2 (vervolg)</p>
<p>Tekst van paragraaf 1.2 (verder vervolg)</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</text>
