[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Attribute Question
The XSchema and XML-Data efforts both attempt (or foreshadow) more effective ways of having common attributes and content. But in XML DTD, you typically define an entity with common fragments and expand it later in the DTD. <!-- Defines entity --> <!ENTITY % LINKATTRS 'ID ID #IMPLIED HREF CDATA #IMPLIED'> <!ELEMENT A (#PCDATA)> <!-- Uses entity to say that element A has ID and HREF attributes --> <!ATTLIST A %LINKATTRS;> The ATTGROUP element in XSchema is an attempt to package this type of information but XSchema 1.0 does not give you a way to reference a existing ATTGROUP in a later element definition. That functionality is anticipated in a future release. p.s. Your return address does not appear to be valid. I attempted to mail you a response to an early question privately and it bounced. -----Original Message----- From: Frank Blau [mailto:fblau@nina.snohomish.wa.gov] Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 1998 3:16 PM To: XML Subject: Attribute Question If I have 3 attributes ("Format", "Usage", and "Loop") that I want every element in my DTD to have, is there a way to globally declare them? Do subelements inherit the attributes of the parent element? Frank xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
