<colophon>
The <colophon> element references a topic describing how this
document was created. In publishing, a colophon describes details of the production
of a book.
This information generally includes the typefaces used, and often the names of their
designers;
the paper, ink and details of the binding materials and methods might also receive mention. In the case of technical books, a colophon might specify the software used to prepare the text and diagrams
for publication. The <colophon>
can appear in the <frontmatter> or
<backmatter>.
