Note
On this element, the global n attribute indicates the number or other value associated with the line which follows the point of insertion of this lb. Encoders should adopt a clear and consistent policy as to whether the numbers associated with line breaks relate to the physical sequence number of the line within the page, or to some aspect of the logical structure of the text. By convention, lb elements should appear at the start of the line to which they refer.
The lb tag is intended for making typographic line breaks in prose. It should be carefully distinguished from the l element, used to mark lines of verse.
