Class:

pattern

Synopsis

element value
{
   attribute type { xsd:NCName }?,
   (
      attribute ns { text }?,
      attribute datatypeLibrary { xsd:anyURI }?,
      attribute * - (rng:* | local:*) { text }*
   ),
   text
}

May be included in:

attribute, choice, define, element, except, group, interleave, list, mixed, oneOrMore, optional, start, zeroOrMore.

Compact syntax equivalent:

datatypeName literal

Description:

The value pattern matches a text node against a value using the semantic of a specified datatype to perform the comparison.

Restrictions:

The value pattern is meant for data oriented applications and can't be used in mixed content models.

Example:

    <attribute name="see-also">
     <list>
      <oneOrMore>
       <choice>
        <value>0836217462</value>
        <value>0345442695</value>
        <value>0449220230</value>
        <value>0449214044</value>
        <value>0061075647</value>
       </choice>
      </oneOrMore>
     </list>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="available">
     <data type="boolean">
      <except>
       <value>0</value>
       <value>1</value>
      </except>
     </data>
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="available">
     <data type="boolean">
      <except>
       <value type="boolean">false</value>
      </except>
     </data>
    </attribute>


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 a schema. The value of ns is inherited.

type

The type attribute specifies which datatype to use to perform the comparison. Note that this is not an inherited attribute. When it is not specified, the comparison is done using the default datatype, the token datatype of RELAX NG's built in type library. Because of this, a string comparison will be done on the values after space normalization.
