Description
A processing instruction allows developers to place information
specific to an outside application within the document. Processing instructions
always begin with the characters <?
and end with the characters
?>
. For example:
<?works document="hello.doc" data="hello.wks"?>
You can create your own processing instructions if the XML application processing the document is aware of what the data means and acts accordingly.
