<!-- This section provides a description of the dataset fields, and additional information about the dataset structure such as criteria used to create the splits, relationships between data points, etc. -->

A sample in this dataset is structured as follows:

```py
{
  'id': '1824_392_txt', # unique id (1824_* denoted the publishing year)
  'title': 'Søgubrot med Efterklang',
  'author': 'Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig', 
  'date': '2019-12-03', # [What is this date?]
  'publisher': 'Faculty of Arts, Aarhus University',
  # And the text in three different format, XML, markdown (md) and as raw text (txt)
  'xml': '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n<?xml-stylesheet [...]',
  'md': '---\ntitle: Søgubrot med Efterklang\nauthor: Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig\ndate: 2019-12-03\npublisher: Faculty of Arts, Aarhus University\n---\n## Søgubrot med Efterklang [...]',
