Description:

The group pattern defines an ordered group of sub-patterns . Note that when attribute patterns are included in such a group--their order is not enforced. group patterns are implicit with element and define patterns.

Example:

   <element name="name">
    <choice>
     <text/>
     <group>
      <element name="first"><text/></element>
      <optional>
        <element name="middle"><text/></element>
      </optional>
      <element name="last"><text/></element>
     </group>
    </choice>
   </element>

 <element name="foo">
  <interleave>
   <element name="out"><empty/></element>
   <group>
    <element name="in1"><empty/></element>
    <element name="in2"><empty/></element>
   </group>
  </interleave>
 </element>
      

Attributes:

datatypeLibrary

The datatypeLibrary attribute defines the default datatype library. The value of datatypeLibrary is inherited.

ns

The ns attribute defines the default namespace for the elements defined in a portion of schema. The value of ns is inherited.
