Attributes
delim⚓︎ (delimiter) supplies a delimiting string preceding the structural component.
Status Optional
Datatype string
Note

delim must contain at least one character.
match⚓︎ (match) supplies an XPath selection pattern using the syntax defined in Kay (ed.) (2017) which identifies a set of nodes which are citable structural components. The expression may be absolute (beginning with /) or relative. match on a citeStructure without a citeStructure parent must be an absolute XPath. If it is relative, its context is set by the match of the parent citeStructure.
Status Required
Datatype teidata.xpath
Schematron

<sch:rule context="tei:citeStructure[not(parent::tei:citeStructure)]">
<sch:assert test="starts-with(@match,'/')">An XPath in @match on the outer <sch:name/> must start with '/'.</sch:assert>
</sch:rule>
Schematron

<sch:rule context="tei:citeStructure[parent::tei:citeStructure]">
<sch:assert test="not(starts-with(@match,'/'))">An XPath in @match must not start with '/' except on the outer <sch:name/>.</sch:assert>
</sch:rule>
unit⚓︎ (unit) describes the structural unit indicated by the citeStructure.
Status Optional
Datatype teidata.enumerated
Sample values include:
book
chapter
