List Continued Tag

It is sometimes necessary to interrupt a list with, say, a subheading. Under normal circumstances, this would cause the next item in the list to be placed in a new list in the XML file. Because it is not permitted by JATS or the NLM Book DTD to start a new XML section within a list, it isn't possible to set up a Word paragraph style for a heading in a list. Instead, the List Continued tag should be placed at the end of the first list item after the heading, which has the effect of connecting the two lists by a continued-from attribute in the XML. An example of the use of this tag in Word follows:

Section 1. Bibliography

1. Poetry collections
2. Books, prose
3. Drama

Section 2. External links

4. Profiles<list-cont></list-cont>
5. Archive and works

which yields the following XML:

<sec id="ss-s09-01-01">
 <title>Section 1. Bibliography</title>
 <list id="ss-L18" list-type="order">
 <list-item><label>1</label><p>Poetry collections</p></list-item>
 <list-item><label>2</label><p>Books, prose</p></list-item></list>
 <list-item><label>3</label><p>Drama</p></list-item></list>
 </sec>
 <sec id="ss-s09-01-02">
 <title>Section 2. External links</title>
 <list id="ss-L19" list-type="order" continued-from="ss-L18">
 <list-item><label>4</label><p>Profiles</p></list-item>
 <list-item><label>5</label><p>Archive and works</p></list-item></list>
 </sec>
