| ## Text Encoding Initiative
### The XML Version of the TEI Guidelines # <fw>

`<fw>` | (forme work) contains a running head (e.g. a `header', `footer'), catchword, or similar material appearing on the current page.
Attributes | (In addition to global attributes and those inherited from phrase)
`type` | classifies the material encoded according to some useful typology.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Sample values include:
header | a running title at the top of the page
footer | a running title at the bottom of the page
pag | a page number or foliation symbol
sig | a signature or gathering symbol
catch | a catch-word
| Default: #IMPLIED
`place` | indicates where on the page this material appears.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Suggested values include:
top | top of the page.
bot | bottom of the page.
left | in left margin.
right | in right margin.
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example

    <fw type="sig" place="bot">C3</fw>

Note

Where running heads are consistent throughout a chapter or section, it is usually more convenient to relate them to the chapter or section, e.g. by use of the `rend` attribute. The `<fw>` element is intended for cases where the running head changes from page to page, or where details of page layout and the internal structure of the running heads, are of paramount importance.
