3.1.2 Titlepage Features

<doctitle> contains the whole title of the pamphlet.

<titlepart> contains different structural parts of the title, one part being the main title (stated in the attribute), while the others are addditional title material.

<epigraph> contains quotations, proverbs, and other miscellaneous material that is not part of the title proper.

<byline> specifies the author of the pamphlet.

<docimprint> contains bibliographical and related information, i.e. some or all of the following: place, publisher, printer, year, to be sold by.

<imprimatur> contains a statement of permission for publication.

Titlepages do no contain paragraph mark-up (even if a paragraph impression is given, e.g. RelB1730), but linebreak mark-up <lb> (cf. 3.1.7.) to capture the layout more adequately.

As already stated, font size, which especially varied on titlepages, is ignored, but as this is intimately connected with boldface, the latter is also not marked up on titlepages either. Thus, "discourse" and "excise" from ECB1696 are not in any way marked for layout, whereas "raising moneys" is marked for gothic typeface, but not for boldface.
