A slightly more realistic example of bare-bones tagging is provided by the following abridged transcription of Franklin D. Roosevelt's proclamation that Prohibition (i.e. the prohibition of alcohol, imposed in the U.S. by the adoption of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution) had been repealed. In the following example, the overall structure is what would be used if the entire Public Papers of Roosevelt, or a selection of several of them, were being transcribed.

At this point the Congressional resolution is quoted in its entirety. It has its own title and paragraphing, and embeds in its turn the full text of yet another document, which became the 21st Amendment. Since FDR is quoting the resolution, we tag it as a q. Within the q is a text element. The q is rendered as a block quote with quotation marks at the beginning and end, and opening quotation marks at the beginning of each paragraph.

Here we have a quotation within a paragraph, which itself contains a paragraph with an embedded list.

Here is the end of the repeal proclamation. From here, the transcription continues in the same way, to the end of the volume.
