+ This replacement happens during the application phase, after most
+ other transformations have taken place.
+
+ If a `@with-namespaces` attribute is provided, any name·space nodes
+ on the toplevel serialized elements whose U·R·I’s correspond to the
+ definitions of the provided prefixes, as defined for the
+ `<书社:serialize-xml>` element, will be declared using name·space
+ attributes on the serialized elements.
+ Otherwise, only name·space nodes which _differ_ from the definitions
+ on the `<书社:serialize-xml>` element will be declared.
+ The string `#default` may be used to represent the default
+ name·space.
+ Multiple prefixes may be provided, separated by white·space.
+
+ When it comes to name·spaces used internally by ⛩️📰 书社, the
+ prefix used by ⛩️📰 书社 may be declared _in addition to_ the
+ prefix(es) used in the source document(s).
+ It is not possible to selectively only declare one prefix for a
+ name·space to the exclusion of others.
+
+ `<书社:raw-output>` elements may be used inside of
+ `<书社:serialize-xml>` elements to inject raw output into the
+ serialized X·M·L.

they appear as the toplevel element in a transformation result, cause
⛩️📰 书社 to produce something other than an X·M·L file.
They are :—
-- **`<书社:raw-text>`:**
- A plaintext (U·T·F‐8) file will be produced from the text nodes in
- the transformation result.
+- **`<书社:archive>`:**
+ Each child element with a `@书社:archived-as` attribute will be
+ archived as a separate file in a resulting tarball (this attribute
+ gives the file name).
+ These elements will be processed the same as the root elements of any
+ other file (e·g, they will be wrapped; they can themselves specify
+ non X·M·L output types, ⁊·c).
+ Other child elements will be ignored.
- **`<书社:base64-binary>`:**

Ascii whitespace, be treated as a Base·64 string, which is then
decoded.

+## Pagination
+
+It is possible to have a single source file produce multiple output
+ files via `<书社:page>` elements, whose `@name` gives the name of the
+ page.
+If a parsed document has a `@书社:destination` which contains `%s`,
+ the `%s` will be replaced with the `@name` for each `<书社:page>` (and
+ removed for the main output).
+Otherwise, the `@name` is inserted before the first period of the
+ filename (or at the end of the filename for those with no period).
+If `<书社:page>`s do not have a `@name`, they are numbered
+ sequentially.
+The destination of pages must be in the same directory as their parent.
+
+Pagination essentially forms a limited convenience for the more
+ sophisticated technique of creating an archive with ⛩️📰 书社 and
+ then unarchiving it.
+Pages are, from Make’s point of view, untracked side·effects of
+ installing the main output, meaning they cannot be targeted directly
+ and will not appear in `make list` or `make listout`.
+They are intended solely for the like of indices and feeds, for which
+ convenience and necessity outweigh their flaws.
