element name

From Modularization of XHTML (2001-04-10) | Glossary for this source

When an element is included in a content model, its explicit name will be listed.

element, element type

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

This document uses the terms "element" and "element type" primarily in the sense employed by the XML 1.0 specification ([XML], section 3): an element type is a syntactic construct of a document type definition (DTD) for its application. This sense is also relevant to structures defined by XML schemas. The document also uses the term "element" more generally to mean a type of content (such as video or sound) or a logical construct (such as a header or list).
elements

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source

Each XML document contains one or more elements, the boundaries of which are either delimited by start-tags and end-tags, or, for empty elements, by an empty-element tag. Each element has a type, identified by name, sometimes called its generic identifier (GI), and MAY have a set of attribute specifications.

embed

From XML Linking Language (XLink) (2001-06-27) | Glossary for this source

An application traversing to the ending resource should load its presentation in place of the presentation of the starting resource. This is similar to the effect achieved by the following HTML fragment:<IMG SRC="http://www.example.org/smiley.gif" ALT=":-)">The presentation of the starting resource typically does not consist of an entire document; it would be the entire document only when the root element of the document is a simple link. Thus, embedding typically has an effect distinct from replacing.Just as for the HTML IMG element, embedding affects only the presentation of the relevant resources; it does not dictate permanent transformation of the starting resource. Put another way, when an embedded XLink is processed, the result of styling the ending resource of the link is merged into the result of styling the resource into which it is embedded. By contrast, when a construct such as an XInclude element is resolved, the original XML is actually transformed to include the referenced content.The behavior of conforming XLink applications when embedding XML-based ( or ) ending resources is not defined in this version of this specification.The presentation of embedded resources is application dependent.
embedded object

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21) | Glossary for this source

Embedded objects such as Java applets, Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) objects (e.g. ActiveX Controls and ActiveX Document embeddings), and plug-ins that reside in an HTML document.
embedded stylesheet module

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

An embedded stylesheet module is a stylesheet module that is embedded within another XML document, typically the source document that is being transformed.
embellished operator

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21) | Glossary for this source

An operator, including any `embellishment' it may have, such as superscripts or style information. The `embellishment' is represented by a layout schema that contains the operator itself. Defined precisely in Section 3.2.5 [Operator, Fence, Separator or Accent (mo)].
empty

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source

An element with no content is said to be empty.
empty

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (2000-10-06) | Glossary for this source

[E97]An element with no content is said to be empty.
empty order declaration

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

An empty order declaration sets the default order for empty sequences in the static context, overriding any implementation-defined default. This declaration controls the processing of empty sequences and NaN values as ordering keys in an order by clause in a FLWOR expression.
empty sequence

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A sequence containing zero items is called an empty sequence.
empty sequence

From XML Path Language (XPath) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

A sequence containing zero items is called an empty sequence.
empty-element tag

An empty-element tag takes a special form:

enabled element, disabled element,

From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source

An enabled element is a piece of content with associated behaviors that can be activated through the user interface or through an API. The set of elements that a user agent enables is generally derived from, but is not limited to, the set of interactive elements defined by implemented markup languages. Some elements may only be enabled elements for part of a user session. For instance, an element may be disabled by a script as the result of user interaction. Or, an element may only be enabled during a given time period (e.g., during part of a SMIL 1.0 [SMIL] presentation). Or, the user may be viewing content in "read-only" mode, which may disable some elements.A disabled element is a piece of content that is potentially an enabled element, but is not in the current session. One example of a disabled element is a menu item that is unavailable in the current session; it might be "grayed out" to show that it is disabled. Generally, disabled elements will be interactive elements that are not enabled in the current session. This document distinguishes disabled elements (not currently enabled) from non-interactive elements (never enabled).For the requirements of this document, user selection does not constitute user interaction with enabled elements. See the definition of content focus.Note: Enabled and disabled elements come from content; they are not part of the user agent user interface.Note: The term "active element" is not used in this document since it may suggest several different concepts, including: interactive element, enabled element, an element "in the process of being activated" (which is the meaning of :active in CSS2 [CSS2], for example).
encoding declaration

From XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source

If present, a version declaration may optionally include an encoding declaration. The value of the string literal following the keyword encoding is an encoding name, and must conform to the definition of EncName specified in . The purpose of an encoding declaration is to allow the writer of a query to provide a string that indicates how the query is encoded, such as "UTF-8", "UTF-16", or "US-ASCII".
