xs:list

Synopsis

<xs:list
  id = "ID"
  itemType = "QName" >
  <!-- (xs:annotation?, (xs:simpleType?) ) -->
</xs:list>

The xs:list element is placed inside an xs:simpleType element to derive a new list simple type from a base atomic type or union type identified by the itemType attribute. Alternately, instead of referencing an existing simple type with itemType, a new anonymous atomic type for the list can be created by an xs:simpleType child element. In either case, the newly defined simple type is a whitespace-separated list of atomic values.
