5.1    Basic Text Content

Paragraph element's children make up the text content of any document. All text contained in a paragraph element or their children is text content, with few exceptions detailed later. This should significantly ease transformations into other formats, since transformations may ignore any child elements of paragraph elements and only process their text content, and still obtain a faithful representation of text content.

Text content elements that do not contain in-line text children are:

�        (foot- and end-)notes (see section 5.3)

Foot- and endnotes contain text content, but are typically displayed outside the main text content, e.g., at the end of a page or document.

�        rubies (see section 5.4)

Ruby texts are usually displayed above or below the main text.

�        annotations (see section 5.5)

Annotations are typically not displayed.
