xml:lang	NMTOKEN	"en"
id	ID	None

Description

This element embraces all other elements of a book. (Like the <html> tag does in HTML.)

If a class attribute is given, and its contents ends with `.sty', the whole thing is interpreted as a LaTeX style file that's included instead of tbook-pl.sty. However, an explicit style file as an XSLT parameter sty-file still has higher precedence. Same with <article>.

Children

backmatter, frontmatter, mainmatter
