Supplement

Corresponds to the JATS <supplementary-material> element (https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1/element/supplementary-material.html).

As in JATS, this is a Block content type so that supplementary material can be positioned close to the content it relates to (e.g., within a figure caption) rather than only at the end of an article. Nevertheless, many articles will include a dedicated "Supplementary Materials" section composed of a Heading followed by one or more Supplement blocks.
