comment
comments are generally queries or notes generated and inserted in the XML file during on-screen editing or other production processes. comment elements are intended to be processed whereas XML comments <!--...--> are ignored during all processing.
Examples of comments are typesetter requests:
<comment id="qt1" type="trequest">Insert figure 1 near here</comment>
... and author queries:
<comment id="q2" type="auquery">Please check sense</comment>
For PDF proofing, author queries should be listed as a query page on the article proofs. Marginal indicators should be created where links to comments are positioned.
More information on the use of comments and PDF proofing can be found on the commentgroup page.
