#87 A note element for each degree
For my degree I want to write a couple of general
paragraphs giving details of the experiences I have
gained rather than listing details about specific subjects.
I tried to use the annotation element for this however,
when the XSLT is applied the annotation contents are
output before the institution and location details and
this leads to messy formatting eg.

Next annotation paragraph

The institution and location details look out of place
unless they are on the line beneath the degree details.
Therefore I propose two possible solutions:
1. Change the order in which the elements are output by
the XSLT. The annotation element would be output after
the institution details.
2. Add a note element for each degree, though this
would seem quite pointless when we already have the
annotation element.
Cheers,

Actually, there is a difference between the <annotation>
element and what you want.
<annotation> is used to note something about the degree
itself, not the work that led to it (e.g. "Graduated cum
laude", "Graduated with honors", etc.).
What you want is a <description> section. What kind of
information would you put in it, and how would you like it
formatted?

I would use a <description> section to describe, for
example, my final year project and what it involved rather
than simply being able to give only subject and result
pairings. It would basically just be a section where you
could add some general notes related to your degree that
would not fit in with any of the other elements.
For the formatting I would suggest that the <description>
section simply be made up of one or more <para> sections. An
example of how the formatting could look would be to output
the description paragraphs after the degree, annotation and
institution elements:
