XML syntax equivalent:

group

Description:

The group pattern defines an ordered group of sub-patterns (note that when attribute patterns are included in such a group, their order cannot be guaranteed). Any number of patterns may be combined through the , operator using this construct, but one should note that different operators ( ,, |, and &) cannot be mixed at the same level.

Example:

      
   element author {
    attribute id {text},
    element name {text},
    element born {text},
    element died {text}?}*
 
   element lib:title { attribute xml:lang { text }, text }
   
   attribute dimensions {list {token, token, token, ("inches"|"cm"|"mm")}}
