= Structure, content, and layout =
# Three aspects, or dimensions, of a document
## '''Structure'''
##* The elements of a document and the rules that govern their organization
##** e.g. Book, Chapter, Verse
##* Two general kinds:
##** Block-level, e.g. paragraphs, extracts
##** In-line, e.g. book titles, proper nouns, emphases
##* "Genres" differ by what elements there are and how they are organized
##** Letters, Monographs, Memos, etc.
## '''Content'''
##* The actual text
##* Linguistic
## '''Layout'''
##* Block-level stuff: line spacing, indents, etc.
##* In-line stuff: font size, italics, etc.
# Things to consider
## Structure, content and style are independent dimensions of a text
## However, they are conflated in traditional practice\
## By convention, we associate styles with elements -- e.g. italics and titles, initial uppercase with proper nounts, bold and large font for section titles
## However, a word processor does not work in this way
##* You have to explicitly identify elements
