Node type: Block element (can contain only other elements)

Definition

A block of related content, instantiated by an optional title, intended to provide additional help, support, or insight to the teacher.

Code Sample

<figure figType="forTeacher" purpose="teachingImprovement">

<title paraID="28">Teaching Tip</title>

<para paraID="29"><strong><emphasis>Prayer:</emphasis></strong> You can do much to help the children feel reverent as they prepare for prayer. For example, remind them to sit quietly and to fold their arms. You can also teach the language of prayer, helping them use respectful words such as <emphasis>Thee, Thou, Thy, </emphasis>and <emphasis>Thine</emphasis> in place of <emphasis>you</emphasis> and <emphasis>your.</emphasis> Until they learn to use their own words, you can prompt them as they pray.</para>

</figure>

Notes

The figure element groups text, tables, lists, and images as needed and helps insure that related objects are styled consistently throughout a publication.

Attributes altText, webURL, and targetURL are allowed on figure elements in order to specify an image to be rendered in web presentations in place of individual components within the figure element. If used, both webURL and altText attributes must be present; the targetURL attribute is always optional.

Use one of the following paragraph styles listed under “Paragraph styles in Word,” below. In these styles, CIT means “citation,” CAP means “caption,” and CRDT means “credit line.”

Paragraph styles in Word figType attribute value purpose attribute
TCHR_title, TCHR_subtitle, TCHR_para, TCHR_CAP_para, TCHR_CIT_para, TCHR-CRDT_para forTeacher Not automatically generated by Word-to-XML hotfolder. Editor must add purpose attribute, with appropriate value, by hand.
TCHG_title, TCHG_subtitle, TCHG_para, TCHG_CAP_para, TCHG_CIT_para, TCHG-CRDT_para forTeacher Generated automatically by Word-to-XML hotfolder; value set to “teachingImprovement”

Note: The paragraph style of all lines within a figure should begin with the same four capital letters. For example, all lines within a forTeacher-type figure should have styles that begin with “TCHR” or “TCHG.” If this isn’t practical, use the xmlPara paragraph style to enter beginning and ending <figure> tags. Include the attribute; for example, <figure figType="forTeacher" purpose="cultureInsight">.
