Comments about the Exemplar

You will notice that this exemplar uses a simple linear layout that is not representative of the complex layout of many K–12 education textbooks. Its purpose is as an easily understandable example of a NIMAS 1.1-conformant XML file including most NIMAS baseline elements; it is not meant to convey the most complex content possible, as this would detract from its purpose.
