Chapter 9: Using Regular Expressions to Specify Simple Datatypes

Among the many facets available for restricting simple datatypes, the most flexible is based on regular expressions. The pattern facet can be used as a last resort when all the other facets are unable to express needed restrictions on a user-defined datatype.

[Note]Note

There is a terminology clash between RELAX NG's patterns and the pattern facet of W3C XML Schema. To limit the risk of confusion we will refer to the facet as the pattern facet or "regular expression".
