EAD Tag Library for Version 1.0

EAD Elements: <label> Label

Description:

A formatting element that identifies the term or concept being described, defined, or explained in a Definition List Item <defitem>. The <defitem> can be thought of as an entry in a <list> that is usually displayed in two columns: <label> followed by <item>. Each list item <defitem> contains a term or concept (called a <label>) and a definition, description, or explanation of that <label> (called an <item>).

The TYPE attribute for the parent <list> has to be set to "deflist" in order to use <defitem> elements. Other lists, such as "simple," "random," and "ordered" do not contain <label>s.

Do not confuse with the attribute called LABEL, which identifies the kind of information in an element for public display.

See also related elements <list> and <defitem>.
