Table of contents of a book

Capture the book-level table of contents as a section of front matter using the toc element. This is only used in a completed print book.

/book/front-matter/toc

For each toc-entry element with a page reference, capture two nav-pointer links in a nav-pointer-group element. One points to the target element for the page reference or paragraph number; its child related-object element contains the page or paragraph number. The other points to the ID of the target chapter or section; its child related-object element is empty.

For a toc-entry element referencing a boxed-text feature, capture a content-type attribute whose value matches the content-type value of the target box.

In the Oxford World's Classics series, a book may have two tables of contents, one for the edition and one for the work it contains. Capture both.

Use toc-div elements to group together the entries for sections within the front matter, main body, and end matter of the book. Give each toc-div element a content-type attribute to indicate which part of the book the entries belong to:

Part of book	content-type value
Front matter	`front-matter`
Main body	`book-body`
End matter	`book-back`

Table of contents with entry for boxed-text feature

The toc-entry element for the case study is a child of the toc-entry element for the chapter or section in which it appears.
