Default: #IMPLIED |
|
| Example |
<factuality type="fiction"/>
|
| Example |

speculation about real people and events</factuality>
|
| Note |
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’.
