    <text>
       <front>
          <docTitle>
             <titlePart>Autumn Haze</titlePart>
          </docTitle>
       </front>
       <body>
          <l>Is it a dragonfly or a maple leaf</l>
          <l>That settles softly down upon the water?</l>

    </text>
Example | The body of a text may be replaced by a group of nested texts, as in the following schematic:
    <text>
      <front>
    	<!-- front matter for whole work -->
      </front>
      <group>

    	<text>
    	  <front>
    		<!-- front matter for first text -->
    	  </front>
    	  <body>
    		<!-- body of first text -->
    	  </body>
    		<back>
    		<!-- back matter for first text -->
    	  </back>
    	</text>

    	<text>
    	  <!-- second text -->
    	</text>

      </group>
    </text>
