Anmerkung
Usually empty, unless some further clarification of the type attribute is needed, in which case it may contain running prose
For many literary texts, a simple binary opposition between ‘fiction’ and ‘fact’ is naïve in the extreme; this parameter is not intended for purposes of subtle literary analysis, but as a simple means of characterising the claimed fictiveness of a given text. No claim is made that works characterised as ‘fact’ are in any sense ‘true’.
