DESCRIPTION
Quote
(Quotation) An inline portion of text attributed to someone other than the author of the
surrounding text.
Note:
The quoted text is contained inline within a single paragraph. This differs from the
block-level element
BlockQuote
(see “Grouping Elements” on page 899), which consists of one
or more complete paragraphs (or other elements presented as if they were complete para-
graphs).
Note
(Note) An item of explanatory text, such as a footnote or an endnote, that is referred to
from within the body of the document. It may have a label (structure type
Lbl
; see “List El-
ment in the body text that refers to it, or it may be included elsewhere (such as in an
endnotes section) and accessed by means of a reference (structure type
Reference
; see be-
low).
Note:
Tagged PDF does not prescribe the placement of footnotes in the page content order.
They can be either inline or at the end of the page, at the discretion of the producer applica-
tion.
Reference
BibEntry
(Reference) A citation to content elsewhere in the document.
(Bibliography entry) A reference identifying the external source of some cited content. It
may contain a label (structure type
Lbl
; see “List Elements” on page 902) as a child.
Note:
Although a bibliography entry is likely to include component parts identifying the cited
content’s author, work, publisher, and so forth, no standard structure types are defined at this
level of detail at the time of publication.
