Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to set a content segment's structural kind to one gmeow:ContentSegmentType value — chapter, section, scene; functional, one type per segment.

Avoid when

• Avoid encoding the segment kind as a ContentSegment subclass (Principle 9) and avoid asserting two types on one segment (it is functional).

How to use

• Point the gmeow:ContentSegment at one gmeow:ContentSegmentType individual; pair with gmeow:segmentIndex for ordering and gmeow:segmentOf for containment.

• ex:chapter1 gmeow:segmentType gmeow:segmentTypeChapter.
