Subject: Re: [docbook] is there any way to code genus & species names in docbookXML
We had this discussion on this list a few months ago, it might be worth looking back through the archives. My comment at the time was that historically, Linnean names had been treated typographically as they now are because they were in a foreign language. This has typically meant italicisation where possible and underlining in manuscripts. This specifically makes foreignphrase the correct element. It has the practical benefit that it just works "as is". I use it regularly.I want to code some genus & species names in italic format. Is there any coding available in docbook for the same? If not then how can I add these names in my XML?
