Attributes
| Name | Occ | Type | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| xml:base | [0..1] | xsd:anyURI | denotes an attribute whose value provides a URI to be used as the base for interpreting any relative URIs in the scope of the element on which it appears; its value is inherited. This name is reserved by virtue of its definition in the XML Base specification. | from group uslm:XmlSpecialAttrs |
| xml:lang | [0..1] | Anonymous | denotes an attribute whose value is a language code for the natural language of the content of any element; its value is inherited. | from group uslm:XmlSpecialAttrs |
| xml:space | [0..1] | Anonymous | denotes an attribute whose value is a keyword indicating what whitespace processing discipline is intended for the content of the element; its value is inherited. | from group uslm:XmlSpecialAttrs |
| role | [0..1] | uslm:ShortStringSimpleType | Use the @role attribute to provide further refinement to an element's type. This is particularly useful when defining a refinement of an element from the abstract set. Another possible use is to use the customary local name for an element whenever the element name is not a complete match. For example, if the customary name for an "explanation" is "summary", then the element can be expressed as <explanation role="summary">. There is a rough equivalence between an element of a base class with a @role attribute and a derived class in the schema, although this equivalence is not explicit. For example <level role="division"> is roughly equal to <division>. When transforming XML to HTML, the @role attribute should be appended to the element name using an "_" underscore and used as the first value in the HTML @class attribute. If desired, the proposed XHTML @role attribute can be computed as either the XML @role attribute or, in the absence of the XML @role attribute, the XML element name. For example: <level role="division"> => <div role="division" class="level_division"> <division> => <div role="division" class="division"> This approach is easily reversible. In a similar way to the @class attribute, multiple role values can be specified in a space separated list. | from group uslm:ClassificationGroup |
| class | [0..1] | uslm:MediumStringSimpleType | The @class attribute corresponds to the @class attribute in HTML. It can be used to specify presentation characteristics of an element that are not specified by the element name and the @role attribute. For example, the @class attribute can be used to specify the presence or absence of the ending separator. Like the HTML @class attribute, multiple class values can be specified in a space separated list. | from group uslm:ClassificationGroup |
| style | [0..1] | uslm:LongStringSimpleType | The @style attribute is used to specify CSS attributes that override the default styles defined for an element or an element class. The current loose-leaf publication standards should be specified using an external style sheet and the use of the @style attribute should be reserved for exception cases where the default presentation must be overridden. | from group uslm:ClassificationGroup |
| styleType | [0..1] | uslm:StyleTypeEnum | The @styleType attribute is used to set the overall semantic type of the block. This has rendering implications. Only a small set of values is allowed. | Default value is "OLC". from group uslm:ClassificationGroup |
| title | [0..1] | uslm:MediumStringSimpleType | The @title attribute is used to specify the text describing the element in a table of contents or index. It must be a simple text string and should consist of fewer than 40 or so characters - although this is not enforced. | from group uslm:DescriptionGroup |
| brief | [0..1] | uslm:LongStringSimpleType | The @brief attribute is an alternate method for providing a longer description of an element, limited to 1024 characters. | from group uslm:DescriptionGroup |
| sortOrder | [0..1] | xsd:integer | The @sortOrder attribute is used to specify a sorting order for a list of items, when that sort order is not the document sequence. The @sortOrder value must be specified as a positive integer. This attribute should rarely be used. | from group uslm:DescriptionGroup |
| display | [0..1] | uslm:YesOrNoEnum | The @display attribute specifies whether the element is rendered, either on screen or in print. The values are @display="yes" to render the element; this is the default. @display="no" is used when the information is to be retained in the document but not rendered. There are no exceptions; if display="yes" then the item will be rendered, regardless of stage, status, or other rules. | Default value is "yes". from group uslm:DisplayGroup |
