Examples

<text>
   <front>
      <docTitle>
         <titlePart>Autumn Haze</titlePart>
      </docTitle>
   </front>
   <body>
      <l>Is it a dragonfly or a maple leaf</l>
      <l>That settles softly down upon the water?</l>
   </body>
</text>
The body of a text may be replaced by a group of nested texts, as in the following schematic:

<text>
   <front><!-- front matter for the whole group --></front>
   <group>
      <text><!-- first text --></text>
      <text><!-- second text --></text>
   </group>
</text>
