*:* Any element from any namespace except the DocBook namespace
The arch attribute designates the computer or chip architecture to which the element applies. The condition attribute provides a standard place for application-specific effectivity. Many DocBook users observed that in order to add an effectivity condition that was unique to their environment required abusing the semantics of one of the existing attributes, or adding their own, making their customization an extension rather than a subset . Thecondition attribute is a general-purpose effectivity attribute with no specified semantics. The conformance attribute indicates standards conformance characteristics of the item contained in the element. These characteristics are application-specific; DocBook provides no default semantics. The os attribute indicates the operating system to which the element is applicable. The revision attribute indicates the editorial revision to which the element belongs. The security attribute indicates something about the security level associated with the element to which it applies. The userlevel attribute indicates the level of user experience to which element applies. The vendor attribute indicates the computer vendor to which the element applies. The wordsize attribute indicates the word size (width in bits) of the computer architecture to which the element applies. simple new replace embed other onLoad onRequest other none changed added deleted off changed added deleted off continues restarts numbered unnumbered preserve compact normal If pgwide has the value 0 (false), then the element is rendered in the current text flow (with flow column width).
