Description
The oneOrMore
pattern
matches an instance with one or more children defined in oneOrMore
. In the compact syntax, oneOrMore
is represented by a plus sign,
as in DTDs. oneOrMore
cannot hold
attribute
element definitions. If
multiple child patterns are present, they are treated as if they
were wrapped by a group
pattern.
