Summary
The Summary should appear here:
This is a layout check. Toh 83 is used as a model, but various sections of other sūtras have been brought in to test certain scenarios. Specific layout check instructions will be pasted into the top of each section. Otherwise a minimum of one paragraph has been left from Toh 83. Note that a tantra warning has been arbitrarily added as a test. Please check that the tantra warning appears on the title page above. Note there is a second summary in Chinese below this one, which is only present within the TEI, but it should not be displayed (These are only displayed on the Chinese website). Glossary test: consciousness.

This text is referenced by a second layout checks test TEI file19 that you should also verify when testing new versions of the Reading Room.
This is a deliberately long passage with a quote at the end to make conspicuous that the reader scrolls the quote into view, not just the adjacent milestone.
The sūtra acknowledges the potentially intimidating and alienating effects of its teaching of nonduality, yet its response can be seen as both unrelenting and genuinely concerned. As the Buddha warns Mañjuśrī that his teaching is likely to cause fear in the audience, Mañjuśrī replies, “Those who become afraid are themselves of the nature of the realm of phenomena, and the nature of the realm of phenomena does not become frightened.” Yet as a group of monks ends up leaving in distress, Mañjuśrī dispatches an emanation of himself who, appearing to sympathize with the dejected monks in their dismissal of the teaching, finally succeeds in showing them its deeper truth. It should also be noted that despite the repeated rejection of the principles of liberation and spiritual accomplishment, we are repeatedly informed about the liberating effects of the sūtra’s teaching when each section of discourse concludes, as in many sūtras, with a statement of the resulting attainments of the attending monks, bodhisattvas, or gods.
A quote at the end of a long passage should scroll into view.
This text is quoted inline. The link in the margin should accurately link back to the quote.
It should be possible to open up a commentary at any point, correctly linking to that point. Once loaded the commentary should follow the root text accordingly.
As a test we include the term element multiple times, although it should only be highlighted here.
This passage should be highlighted despite the Toh 00c element.
This passage demonstrates ways to match strings with sub elements and tests repetitive forms.

“And why? Lord, it is because form is empty of form, and because feeling . . . perception . . . volitional factors . . . and consciousness is empty of consciousness. Lord, that emptiness of form is not form, and emptiness is not other than form. Form itself is emptiness, and emptiness itself is form. Lord, that emptiness of feeling is not feeling, and emptiness is not other than feeling. Feeling itself is emptiness, and emptiness itself is feeling. Lord, that emptiness of perception is not perception, and emptiness is not other than perception. Perception itself is emptiness, and emptiness itself is perception. Lord, that emptiness of volitional factors is not volitional factors, and emptiness is not other than volitional factors. Volitional factors themselves are emptiness, and emptiness itself is volitional factors. Lord, that emptiness of consciousness is not consciousness, and emptiness is not other than consciousness. Consciousness itself is emptiness, and emptiness itself is consciousness.
