This proposal for the 2nd edition of BpDF is to replace all HTML-like JATS elements in Baseprint XML with their corresponding XHTML elements. This is somewhat analogous to JATS using XHTML tables for tables, but extended to using XHTML elements for all HTML-like elements, not just tables.
The motivation for this change is mainly due to three factors:
(Target outputs: HTML and Crossref XML rather than full PMC JATS #16)
(HTML vs JATS format rot risk (for future presentation in HTML) #17)
Unlike JATS XML which many (if not most) publishers convert to LaTeX in order to produce PDFs, BpDF is converted to HTML first, to then produce PDFs from that HTML (via print-specific CSS). JATS XML has challenges that reflect publishers converting from JATS XML to LaTeX, which is not a concern for Baseprint XML.
Simple basic JATS can be split into three parts:
In this proposal, the only output target for 1. becomes just HTML to be viewed in a web browser application. Crossref XML output only uses 2. and 3. The HTML in the
<title>and<abstract>are to be limited to basic HTML elements that are JATS-transformable. The<body>becomes free to include HTML that is not JATS-transformable.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
