The paragraphs in the text are numbered with the

attribute. Each number consists of four digits; numbering is consecutive throughout the book. For example:

numbers the 203th paragraph throughout the book.

Each chapter is identified with a formal identification code inside the

attribute. Chapters are numbered using arabic numerals. The codes are composed by concatenating the identification codes for all ancestor text divisions down to the chapter level, with the dot as separation marker. For example:

identifies the third chapter of the second book of the first volume.
