- | ===== Context Breaks ===== | ||
- | Context breaks denote a break in the continuity of the narrative. It represents a shift in thought, time, location, or similar in a work of fiction or non-fiction. These changes are typically represented by a large blank space between paragraphs, which sometimes including asterisms and other decorations (traditionally when the shift occurs immediately at the bottom of a print page where it might not be apparent). | ||
- | |||
- | Often images are used to represent context breaks. Images are a suboptimal way to indicate a context change because they carry no semantic information. | ||
- | |||
- | For all context breaks, remove decorative image or content break and insert horizontal line. | ||
