Note

The s element may be used to mark orthographic sentences, or any other segmentation of a text, provided that the segmentation is end-to-end, complete, and non-nesting. For segmentation which is partial or recursive, the seg should be used instead.

The @type attribute may be used to indicate the type of segmentation intended, according to any convenient typology.

Example

<head>
  <s>A short affair</s>
</head>
<s>When are you leaving?</s>
<s>Tomorrow.</s>
