XHTML:
Attributes


HREF

The HREF attribute is inherited from HTML2.0 and is used consistently throughout CML. It serves as the tail of a hyperlink, whose semantics are being developed by Murray Maloney and others of the HTML-WG as an Internet draft.

Here is some more information.

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value

#IMPLIED

LANG

The primary language of the hypertext.

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value

#IMPLIED

METHODS

Operations on destination (advisory) (HTML 2.0) (I don't understand or use this)

Value(s)

NAMES

Default Value

#IMPLIED

NAME

NAME specifies the target of a hyperlink and must be unique within a document. It is used in the same way as in HTML, but note that whereas the A element appears to refer to a point in a document, all CML elements are containers and their extent is clearly defined. Here is some more information.

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value

#IMPLIED

REL

The REL attribute is inherited from HTML2.0 and is used consistently throughout CML. It describes the target of a hyperlink, whose semantics are being developed by Murray Maloney and others of the HTML-WG as an Internet draft.

The use of REL is under review (Jan 1997). At present it has not been used as the CML addressing mechanisms are more advanced.

Value(s)

NAMES

Default Value

#IMPLIED

REV

The REV attribute is inherited from HTML2.0 and is used consistently throughout CML. It describes the backwards relationship of a hyperlink, whose semantics are being developed by Murray Maloney and others of the HTML-WG as an Internet draft.

At present CML does not specify a use and it should evolve in parallel with what the WWW community decides.

Value(s)

NAMES

Default Value

#IMPLIED

SECTION

This optional attribute allows authors to add semantics to their document by describing the content of HTML blocks. There is no syntactic restriction on the value of SECTION; any postprocessing instructions should be linked to CMLviewer (or similar code). Here are some suggested values:

abstract
acknowledgments
appendix
authors
bibliography
chapter
conclusion
contents
curation
editorial
experimental
figures
footnote
index
methods
part
preface
references
revision
schemes
section
subsection
subsubsection
summary
tables
title
""
Unknown (default)

At present no postprocessing checks are done on the value of SECTION, so that any string can be used.

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value

#IMPLIED

TITLE

The TITLE attribute is inherited from HTML2.0 and is used consistently throughout CML. In HTML 2.0 it is advisory only, but you are encouraged to use it in CML since it is used to label many of the displays, tables, etc. Virtually all CML elements have this attribute.

The attribute value of TITLE is searchable, but may be better as contents of an XVAR in some cases.

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value

#IMPLIED

URN

Permanent address of destination (HTML 2.0) (I don't use this)

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value
