`<ab>` | (anonymous block) contains any arbitrary component-level unit of text, acting as an anonymous container for phrase or inter level elements analogous to, but without the semantic baggage of, a paragraph.

Attributes:

`part` | specifies whether or not the block is complete.
| Datatype: (Y | N | I | M | F)

Legal values:

`Y` | the block is incomplete
`N` | either the block is complete, or no claim is made as to its completeness
`I` | the initial part of an incomplete block
`M` | a medial part of an incomplete block
`F` | the final part of an incomplete block

| Default: N
Note | The values I, M, or F should be used only where it is clear how the block is to be reconstituted.

Example

Note

The `<ab>` element may be used at the encoder's discretion to mark any component-level elements in a text for which no other more specific appropriate markup is defined.
