Note

The ab element may be used at the encoder's discretion to mark any component-level elements in a text for which no other more specific appropriate markup is defined. Unlike paragraphs, ab may nest and may use the @type and @subtype attributes.

Example

<div type="book" n="Genesis">
  <div type="chapter" n="1">
    <ab>In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.</ab>
    <ab>And the earth was without form, and void; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the
spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.</ab>
    <ab>And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.</ab>
