Description

The div element is provided to define logical divisions in RELAX NG schemas. It has no effect on validation. Its purpose is to define a group of definitions within a grammar that may be annotated as a whole.

In the context of a grammar, the content of a div element is the same as the content of a grammar. (div elements may be embedded in other div elements.)

Example

<grammar xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/
structure/1.0">
 ...
 <div>
   <xhtml:p>The content of the book element has been split in two named patterns:
     </xhtml:p>
   <define name="book-start">
     <attribute name="id"/>
     <ref name="isbn-element"/>
     <ref name="title-element"/>
     <zeroOrMore>
       <ref name="author-element"/>
     </zeroOrMore>
   </define>
   <define name="book-end">
     <zeroOrMore>
       <ref name="author-element"/>
     </zeroOrMore>
     <zeroOrMore>
       <ref name="character-element"/>
     </zeroOrMore>
     <attribute name="available"/>
    </define>
  </div>
 ...
