Remarks

The model of this element is based on the label element of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI).

Don't confuse this element, which is used to capture labelling text appearing in the document, with the @label attribute, which records text to be used to generate a designation for the element to which it’s attached, a "tool tip" or prefatory text, for example.
