Schema Documentation: the transition element
The transition element
On this page:
The
transition
element represents context changes and other shifts in the narrative flow or content of a document.
The shift represented by a
transition
does not infer structural meaning on the elements that precede or follow it (see the
section
element). A typical example of a
transition
in print documents is a spaced gap between paragraphs, which may include centered asterisks or other glyphs (often referred
to as a space break).
The Content Rendition feature's
symbol
attribute can be used to represent a character marker associated with the
transition
, and the
src
attribute can be used to reference an image. If both attributes are omitted, the
transition
is treated as a whitespace gap.
Usage Example
<p>…walking proudly and silently past the people who knelt by the water's edge.</p>
<transition rend:symbol="*" />
<p class="nonindent">A great fire, banked high and red, flamed in the grate and under the ivy-twined branches…</p>
