maatext: could "Appendix" inside appendix labels be wrapped in (e.g.,) x elements?

[pkra]

I couldn't find where this happens but it would be useful downstream if we could more easily target the word "Appendix" inside maatext appendices.

If we run into other (more complex) uses cases for such prefixes, then we can consider some additional identifying markup.

@pkra Would it be ok if the section/chapter/part name is always enclosed in x elements for all series?

Alternatively, we once discussed moving this into a separate prefix element, e.g.

 <sec>
    <prefix>Chapter</prefix>
    <label>1</label>
    <title>Strings, drums, and the Laplacian</title>

  <book>
    <prefix>Appendix</prefix>
    <label>A</label>
    <title>Proof of the GCD Theorem</title>

It's just as easy to do that as to add x elements.

That would not be a problem.

I don't recall the discussion. The markup example seems doable but I still haven't unraveled all the convoluted history of label and title handling downstream, so adding another element to wrangle would come at a bad time.

This isn't urgent (I fixed the use case). Let's discuss this with some care another time.
