16. XHTML Edit Attributes Module

This section is normative.

This module defines the Edit attribute collection.

16.1. Edit Collection

edit = "inserted|deleted|changed|moved"

This attribute allows elements to carry information indicating how content has changed. Possible values:

• inserted: the content has been inserted
• deleted: the content has been deleted
• changed: the content has changed considerably, therefore making it not worth being marked up with values of inserted and deleted
• moved: the content has been moved from some other part of the document.

The default presentation for an element with edit="deleted" is display: none (in other words, it is not displayed) although an alternate style might display it as crossed through. The other three values cause no special presentation by default, though an alternate style might use background colors or other text decoration to indicate the changed text.

Example:

<p>I will do it
next <span edit="deleted">week</span><span edit="inserted">month</span>.</p>

datetime = Datetime

The value of this attribute specifies the date and time when a change was made.

Example:

datetime="2003-01-13T13:15:30Z"
