There are a few exceptions.
Details on particular programs are given below; if a program is not

work.

## Parsers

as convert plaintext formats which are already included inline in
existing source X·M·L documents.

+⛩📰 书社 will add a few attributes to elements which result from

+These include :—
-- A `@书社:cksum` attribute on toplevel result elements, giving the
- `cksum` checksum of the corresponding source file.
+- A `@书社:parsed-by` attribute, giving a space‐separated list of
+ parsers which parsed the node.
+ (Generally, this will be a list of one, but it is possible for the
+ result of a parse to be another plaintext node, which may be parsed
+ by a different parser.)
-- For the elements which result from parsing plaintext `<html:script>`

+- A `@书社:media-type` attribute, giving the identified media type of
+ the plaintext node.
- - A `@书社:parsed-by` attribute, giving a space‐separated list of
- parsers which parsed the node.
- (Generally, this will be a list of one, but it is possible for the
- result of a parse to be another plaintext node, which may be

+## Output Redirection
- - A `@书社:media-type` attribute, giving the identified media type of
- the plaintext node.
+By default, ⛩📰 书社 installs files to the same location in `DESTDIR`
+ as they were placed in their `SRCDIR`.
+This behaviour can be customized by setting the `@书社:destination`
+ attribute on the root element, whose value can give a different path.
+This attribute is read after parsing, but before transformation (where
+ it is silently dropped).
## Embedding
Embedding takes place after parsing but before transformation, so
parsers are able to generate their own embeds.

+⛩📰 书社 will add a few attributes to toplevel result elements, both
+ in the main document and any embedded documents, during the expansion
+ phase prior to the main transformation.
+These include :—
+
+- A `@书社:cksum` attribute giving the `cksum` checksum of the
+ corresponding source file.
+
+- A `@书社:mtime` attribute giving the last modified time of the
+ corresponding source file.
+
+- A `@书社:identifier` attribute giving the ⛩📰 书社 identifier
+ (i·e, starting with `about:shushe?`) of the corresponding source
+ file.
+
+- For elements in the `html` namespace, an `itemscope` attribute and an
+ `itemtype` attribute with a value of
+ `urn:fdc:ladys.computer:20231231:Shu1She4:document` (for the main
+ document) or `urn:fdc:ladys.computer:20231231:Shu1She4:embed` (for
+ embedded documents).
+ These attributes are used to scope any nested `<html:meta>` elements
+ with `@itemprop` attributes to their containing documents.

The following params are only available in transforms :—

Ascii whitespace, be treated as a Base·64 string, which is then
A plaintext (U·T·F‐8) file will be produced from the text nodes in
the transformation result.
-## 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.
