Synopsis

xml:link= link_type

Description

The xml:link attribute signals an XLink processor that an element is a link element. It can take one of the following values:

simple

A one-way link, pointing to the area in the target document where the referenced element occurs.

document

A link that points to a member document of an extended link group.

extended

An extended link, which can point to more than one target through the use of multiple locators. Extended links can also support multidirectional and out-of-line links (a listing of links stored in a separate document).

group

A link that contains a group of document links.

The xml:link attribute is always used with other attributes to form an XLink. See Section 1.5 for much more information on the xml:link attribute. This section also has more information on attribute remapping. (Note that this attribute may change to xlink:form in the future.)
