Description

The list pattern splits a text node into tokens separated by whitespace to allow the validation of these tokens separately. This item is most useful for validating lists of values.

Restrictions

• interleave can’t be used within list.

• The content of a list is only about data: it’s forbidden to define element, attribute or, text there.

• It’s forbidden to embed list into list.

  ("inches"|"cm"|"mm")}}
