The most common use for the head element is to mark the headings of sections. In older writings, the headings or incipits may be rather longer than usual in modern works. If a section has an explicit ending as well as a heading, it should be marked as a trailer, as in this example:

<div1 n="Itype="book">
 <head>In the name of Christ here begins
   the first book of the ecclesiastical history of Georgius
   Florentinus, known as Gregory, Bishop of Tours.</head>
 <list>
  <head>Chapter-Headings</head>
 </list>
 <div2 type="section">
  <head>In the name of Christ here begins Book I of the
     history.</head>
  <p>Proposing as I do ...</p>
  <p>From the Passion of our Lord until the death of Saint Martin
     four hundred and twelve years passed.</p>
  <trailer>Here ends the first Book, which covers five thousand,
     five hundred and ninety-six years from the beginning of the
     world down to the death of Saint Martin.</trailer>
 </div2>
</div1>
Beispiel

The head element is also used to mark headings of other units, such as lists:

With a few exceptions, connectives are equally useful in
all kinds of discourse: description, narration, exposition,
argument.
<list type="simple">
 <head>Connectives</head>
 <item>above</item>
 <item>accordingly</item>
 <item>across from</item>
 <item>adjacent to</item>
 <item>again</item>
 <item>
<!-- ... -->
 </item>
</list>
