Identifies the editorial or publication status of the element on which it occurs Specifies an identifying string for presentation purposes Generally, an explicit Label attribute is used only if the processing system is incapable of generating the label automatically. Under such circumstances, the third book in a set might be labeled “Volume III”, for example. If present, the label is normative; it will used even if the processing system is capable of automatic labelling.

appendix An appendix in a Book or Article

section A recursive section

article An article The article element is a general-purpose container for articles. The content model is both quite complex and rather loose in order to accommodate the wide range of possible article structures. Although changes to the article element have been discussed on several occasions, no better model has been presented. An article is composed of a header and a body. The body may include a table of contents and multiple lists of tables, figures, and so on, before the main text of the article and may include a number of common end-matter components at the end. Formatted as a displayed block. Frequently causes a forced page break in print media. May be numbered separately and presented in the table of contents. Class identifies the type of article. faq journalarticle productsheet specification techreport whitepaper

The root element must have a version attribute.

The frame specifies how the table is to be framed: Value Meaning all Frame all four sides of the table. In some environments with limited control over table border formatting, such as HTML, this may imply additional borders. bottom Frame only the bottom of the table. none Place no border on the table. In some environments with limited control over table border formatting, such as HTML, this may disable other borders aswell. sides Frame the left and right sides of the table. top Frame the top of the table. topbot Frame the top and bottom of the table. There is no way to obtain a border on only the starting edge (left, in left-to-right writing systems) of the table. all bottom none sides top topbot If colsep has the value 1 (true), then a rule will be drawn to the right of all columns in this table. A value of 0 (false) suppresses the rule. The rule to the right of the last column in the table is controlled by the frame attribute, not colsep . If rowsep has the value 1 (true), then a rule will be drawn below all rows in this table. A value of 0 (false) suppresses the rule. The rule below the last row in the table is controlled by the frame attribute, not rowsep . The orient attribute specifies the orientation of the table.. An orientation of port is upright , the same orientation as the rest of the text flow. An orientation of land is 90 degrees counter-clockwise from the upright orientation. land port The tabstyle attribute holds the name of a table style defined in a stylesheet that will be used to process this document. The rowheader attribute indicates whether the entries in the first column of the table are functionally row headers (analagous to the way that a thead provides column headers). A value of firstcol indicates that they are, a value of norowheader indicates that they are not. firstcol norowheader center char justify left right bottom middle top

link A hypertext link The link element is a general purpose hypertext element. Usually, link surrounds the text that should be made “hot” (unlike xref which must generate the text) but the endterm attribute can be used to copy text from another element. If the link element has content, then that content is processed for output as the “hot” text. If the link element has content and an endterm attribute, then the content is used and the endterm is ignored. If the link element has an endterm attribute and no content, then the content of the element pointed to by endterm should be repeated at the location of the link and used as the “hot” text.
