Schema module documentation

Description

This module defines annotations that can be attached to (almost) any nexml element. The markup for these annotations is like that of xml-plists, such as are used by iTunes libraries and other Mac OS X configuration files. However, this module extends on that by defining more simple types that can be used as values of the key/value pairs that comprise the annotation. In particular, the additional types are lists of atomic simple types, so that a value can be a list of integers, for example.

Complex types

Base [abstract]

Description

The base type for all complexType definitions in the nexml schema. This type allows a number of special attributes: xml:lang - for languages codes xml:base - see http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase/ xml:id - see http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-id/ xml:space - for whitespace handlingxlink:href - for linksclass - for class membership Also see http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd for more information on the xml and xlink attributes.

Dict

Description

A dictionary; a sequence of key/value pairs, where the value elements are of some type.

Inheritance

Dict extends Base. In turn, this type is inherited from by DC, RCSAuthor, RCSDate, RCSHeader, RCSId, RCSRev, RCSURL, RSS, XHTML,
