body vs content?

Perhaps silly question - what's the difference between 'body' and 'content' for this dataset? Is it something like

body = content + summary?

Is it always in that sequence? can it be

body = summary + content?

Given the heuristics described in section 3.1 of the paper, "For the remaining posts, we attempt to split their bodies at the expression TL;DR to form the content-summary pairs for our corpus." So body = content + summary in that order.

This means that if the TL;DR expression appears in the middle of the text, the part preceding it is considered to be the content and the part after as the summary.

And to answer the previous question (sorry for the late response), body text encompasses content and summary but the order doesn’t matter.

The cleaned content-summary pairs of the dataset are formed after splitting the body text by the various TL;DR patterns.
