DAISY—Structure Guidelines: Elements, Block Elements
This chapter describes various block elements or structures found in books and provides guidance on their markup. Block structures are discrete segments of text that are often separated from surrounding text by blank lines, indentation, etc. The most common block structure is the paragraph. Other examples are: lists, quotations set off from adjoining text, sidebars, and footnotes.
Block structures are contained within major structures. For example, paragraphs fall inside parts, chapters, sections, and subsections. In turn, the inline elements to be covered in the next chapter are contained inside block structures.
