The eml-text module - Text field formatting

The eml-text module is a wrapper container that allows general text descriptions to be used within the various modules of eml. It can include either structured or unstructured text blocks. It isn't really appropriate to use this module outside of the context of a parent module, because the parent module determines the appropriate context to which this text description applies. The eml-text module allows one to provide structure to a text description in order to convey concepts such as sections (paragraphs), hierarchy (ordered and unordered lists), emphasis (bold, superscript, subscript) etc. The structured elements are a subset of DocBook so the predefined DocBook stylesheets can be used to style EML fields that implement this module.
