XML authoring framework quick reference
Conventions
- All items, elements, and attributes are listed in alphabetical order. When there are multiple elements for the same item, there is no preference for any particular element over another, as long as the resulting markup is well-formed.
- Typical EBNF-style notation applies:
[ ] indicates optional, | indicates alternation, { } indicates repetition, etc.
- bold indicates a default value.
