Example

The body of a text may be replaced by a group of nested texts, as in the following schematic:

<text>
 <front/>
 <group>
  <text>
   <front/>
   <body/>
   <back/>
  </text>
  <text/>
 </group>
</text>
Note
This element should not be used to represent a text which is inserted at an arbitrary point within the structure of another, for example as in an embedded or quoted narrative; the floatingText is provided for this purpose.
