Re: [Dpubs-content] XML for Journal Issues

[David R. <dw...@co...>]

Larry,

We relaxed this restriction, I think because you pointed out that it 
was unnecessarily restrictive ;)

So it now depends on which version of the schema you're using. 
Version 1.3 is as you describe--you need to use records without divs, 
or divs that include records, but records and divs can't be siblings.

With dpubs_journal_issue.xsd 1.4, you can mix it up more. So this is 
now allowed:
         <record/>
         <div>
             <record/>
             <record/>
         </div>
         <record/>
         <record/>

The purpose of the div is to create sections within a TOC, like 
"Research Articles" and "Reviews". If you have an undifferentiated 
TOC, then there's not much reason to use <div>.

Best,
--David
