Attribute synopsis
Description
The cover element contains additional material
to be printed on the cover of a publication. Multiple
cover elements may be used to hold material for the
inside and outside front and back covers, the spine, dust jackets,
etc.
Because there is likely to be great variation in the number of
covers, and the means by which the cover elements are
processed, DocBook does not attempt to define semantics for their order
or relationship to one another.
The title, authors, and other bibliographic metadata that appears
in the info element should not be repeated inside the
cover. The intent is merely that
cover can contain any additional material
required.
Processing expectations
Formatted as a displayed block. Sometimes suppressed.
