Taxonomy: key
Element or context:
<def-list>
A taxonomy key consists of a complex system of nested definition lists (<def-list>) with various values for the attribute "list-content", as follows:
- Each taxonomy key consists of one or more taxonomy sections, each of which may or may not include a title
- Each taxonomy section consists of one or more taxonomy couplets
- Each taxonomy couplet consists of two or more taxonomy descriptions with a taxonomy number and a result
Requirements:
- Put the entire taxonomy key within a single <def-list> with attribute 'list-content' on <def-list> set to "tax-key".
- Put each taxonomy section in a <def-list> with attribute 'list-content' set to "tax-section; if the taxonomy section contains a title, then put the title in a <title> just inside the opening <def-list> tag.
- Put each taxonomy couplet in a <def-list> with attribute 'list-content' set to "tax-couplet".
- The <term> element in each <def-item> in a taxonomy couplet should contain a taxonomy number and a description. Put each taxonomy number into a <named-content> element with attribute 'content-type' set to "tax-number".
- The <def> element in each <def-item> in a taxonomy couplet should contain the taxonomy result; the taxonomy result will be either a number or a taxonomy species name. If the taxonomy result is a species name, then it must be set in <italic> tags.
