The <prolog> element contains
information about the topic as an whole (for example, author information
or subject category) that is either entered by the author or maintained
by a software application. Much of the metadata inside the <prolog>
will not be displayed with the topic when the topic is rendered, but
may be used by processes that generate search indexes or customize
navigation.
