OxMed: Breaking up A-Z content into chapters
The content of some Oxford Medical titles consists of alphabetized A to Z entries, for example, an A-Z list of drugs. Other books may include a part or chapter that has content listed in A-Z form.
For books that are comprised solely of A-Z content, follow the instructions below to split the A-Z list into chapters.
For books that contain an A-Z part or chapter and some parts or chapters before or after the list, make a new Part for the A-Z list and then follow the instructions below to split the A-Z list into chapters.
Books such as the Oxford Handbook of
Clinical Medicine
and the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialities (Appendix B)
use A-Z chunking on A-Z
chapters. Where appropriate, use the specific A-Z chunking instructions for the OxMed title instead of these
instructions.
-
Create a
chapterelement for each letter of the alphabet for which there is at least one item.That is, do not create a chapter forJ
if no items begin withJ
.Do not add these new chapters to the table of contents in the front matter. -
Give the new chapter elements attribute role="alphabetized" and create a
titleGroup/titlefor each chapter, containing the letter of the alphabet. - Capture each headword item that begins with the letter of the chapter in a div1 division.In general a headword begins with the letter of the chapter and is differentiated from the definition by the typography.
-
Use subsequent
div[1-7,N]division headings for subsequent structures or headings below the headword.
