element
The element pattern matches an element. The name of the element may be defined either through a name attribute or through a name class.
<element name="born"> <text/> </element> <element name="character"> <attribute name="id"/> <element name="name"> <text/> </element> <element name="born"> <text/> </element> <element name="qualification"> <text/> </element> </element> <element> <anyName/> <ref name="anything"/> </element> |
The datatypeLibrary attribute defines the default datatype library. The value of datatypeLibrary is inherited.
When name is specified, the element pattern matches only elements with this name. name is a shortcut to define a single name as a name class for the element pattern.
Both name and the definition of a name class cannot be specified (they are exclusive options).
The ns attribute defines the default namespace for the elements defined in a portion of schema. The value of ns is inherited.
