Entities for classes of standalone elements
Entities for classes of phrase-level elements
Entities for mixtures of standalone elements
Entities for mixtures of #PCDATA and phrase-level elements
Entities for customizable content models
Entities for common attributes argtypes Values for function prototype argument datatypes. boolean expression location-set node-set number object point range string key attribute Optionally provides a sorting or indexing key, for cases when the element content is inappropriate for this purpose. def attribute Points to the element where the relevant definition can be found, using the IDREF mechanism. %def.att; is for optional def attributes, and %def-req.att; is for required def attributes. ref attribute Points to the element where more information can be found, using the IDREF mechanism. %ref.att; is for optional ref attributes, and %ref-req.att; is for required ref attributes. xmlns:xlink and xlink:type attributes xmlns:xlink declares the association of the xlink prefix with the namespace created by the XLink specification. xlink:type identifies an element as an XLink "simple" linking element. simple href attributes The href attribute locates the remote-resource half of a simple link; the element on which the href appears is the local-resource half. Some elements are usable links only if the author chooses to supply a functional href. The attribute name should really be xlink:href, but is kept without the prefix for now in order to be backwards-compatible. xlink:show and xlink:actuate attributes These attributes offer instructions to the display engine about how to handle traversal to resource indicated by an href locator. embed onLoad replace onRequest new onRequest xml:space attribute Indicates that the element contains whitespace that the formatter or other application should retain, as appropriate to its function. preserve diff attribute Indicates in what way the element has changed. When a value is not provided, that subelement should inherit a value from its parent. If the root element has no value supplied, assume "off". chg add del off role attribute Extends the useful life of the DTD by allowing authors to make a subtype of any element. No default. Common attributes Every element has an ID attribute for links, a role attribute, and a diff attribute. %common.att; is for common attributes where the ID is optional, and %common-idreq.att; is for common attributes where the ID is required.
