        The partitions pattern defines a top-level partitioning structure for information resources such as books and journals. 
        
            
        
        
        
        
            
        
    
    
        
    
    
        
            
                The frontmatter element groups the initial/preliminary sections of a document. Frontmatter typically consists of such sections as forewords, prefaces, acknowledgements, introductions, dedications, prologues, and tables of contents. Frontmatter pages are typically identified by the use of Roman numerals for their numbering, but numbering alone is not a reliable indicator (it is not uncommon for front matter to begin with Arabic number 1, for example). The table of contents may help identify frontmatter sections either through emphasized typeface and/or the use of line breaks between the front, body and back matter sections. 
                
                
            
        
        
            
        
        
            
                
                    
                
            
        
        
            
        
    
    
        
            
                The bodymatter element groups the primary narrative of a document, as contrasted with preliminary material in frontmatter and supplementary information in backmatter. 
                
                
            
        
        
            
        
        
            
                
                    
                
            
        
    
    
        
            
                The backmatter element groups supplementary sections at the end of a document. Backmatter typically consists of such sections as appendices, glossaries, bibliographies and indices.
