Note

A floating text has the same content as any other text and may thus be interrupted by another floating text, or contain a group of tesselated texts.

Example

<body>
<div type="scene">
<sp>
<p>Hush, the players begin...</p>
</sp>
<floatingText type="pwp">
<body>
<div type="act">
<sp>
<l>In Athens our tale takes place [...]</l>
</sp>

</div>
</body>
</floatingText>
<sp>
<p>Now that the play is finished ...</p>
</sp>
</div>
</body>
