Consideration

• These stories are written on the basis that a display-quote can contain any kind of content - paragraphs, tables, equations and so on. display-quote acts as a container for this content, to distinguish it from the non-quoted content around it.
• At eLife, our Features team needs the ability to place a quote, edit it and move it if the placement needs updating. This has implications for the generation of article PDFs.
• At eLife, we use disp-quote for pull quotes in Feature articles and in the author response sub-article to capture quotes from the decision letter sub-article.

XML requirements

Display quotes are captured in the element disp-quote.

<disp-quote>
    <p>Biological concepts – no matter how loosely defined – are always embedded in broader theoretical perspectives on how nature works.</p>
</disp-quote>

PKP example:

<p>
    <disp-quote id="dispquote8">
        <p>Display Quote <italic>Italic text</italic></p>
    </disp-quote>
</p>

Erudit examples:

<disp-quote content-type="example">
        <label>3</label>
          <p>…les standards sont encore une fois si bas, on se contente d’un français
          médiocre, entrecoupé par des expressions et même des phrases en anglais, ce qui prouve le
          manque d’aisance en français…</p>
</disp-quote>

<disp-quote content-type="epigraph">
    <p>Un jour, tout sera bien, voilà notre espérance :</p>
    <p>Tout est bien aujourd’hui, voilà l’illusion.</p>
    <attrib>Voltaire, <italic>Le désastre de Lisbonne</italic></attrib>
  </disp-quote>

In eLife content disp-quote can be captured as a child of:

• body
• sec

eLife allows the following child elements:

• p
• attrib

A @content-type attribute should be allowed for extra semantic capture. Examples include following values (which are essential for Érudit):

• content-type="verbatim"
• content-type="dedication"
• content-type="epigraph"
• content-type="example"
• content-type="editor-report"

This should be set up in the configuration.

Érudit allows the following children of disp-quote (including all variations):

• attrib
• verse-group
• disp-quote
• fig
• graphic
• list
• def-list
• disp-formula
• disp-formula-group
• table-wrap
• p

Proposal

@JGilbert-eLife

Last minute considerations. In some of our articles we have grouped examples, as for example:

<disp-quote content-type="group">
    <disp-quote content-type="example">
            <label>1</label>
            <p>example 1</p>
    </disp-quote>
    <disp-quote content-type="example">
            <label>2</label>
            <p>example 2</p>
    </disp-quote>
</disp-quote>

We did a better evaluation of our corpus. There is only 2 articles with group of examples. We can ignore them. Feel free to remove this and the previous comment.
