+## Applying Attributes
+

+ element to the element(s) it wraps.
+It is especially useful in combination with embeds.

+Attribute application takes place after all ordinary transforms have

+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:base64-binary>`:**
+ The text nodes in the transformation result will, after removing all
+ Ascii whitespace, be treated as a Base·64 string, which is then
+ decoded.
