Both the start- and end-tags are required for this element.
Word (or letter or number) used not to represent the thing or idea it usually represents, but merely as the word itself. For example, "The term <WORDASWORD>Gothic</WORDASWORD> means different things to art historians and typographers," or for a single character, "the letter <WORDASWORD>X</WORDASWORD>". It contains plain text and has common attributes.
