Name
xs:simpleContent — Simple content model declaration.
Synopsis
<xs:simpleContent id = xs:ID {any attributes with non-schema namespace} > Content: ((xs:annotation?), (xs:restriction | xs:extension)) </xs:simpleContent>
May be included in: xs:complexType (local definition), xs:complexType (global definition)
Description
This element allows the definition of a simple content model by derivation of a simple type or of another simple content complex type. It is not a component by itself (simple contents are not named) but rather declaration of the intention to define a simple content model by derivation.
The derivation method is not defined by the
xs:simpleContent
element, but by the choice of its
child element (which is xs:restriction
for a
derivation by restriction, or xs:extension
for a
derivation by extension).
Restrictions
None.
Example
<xs:element name="title"> <xs:complexType> <xs:simpleContent> <xs:extension base="xs:string"> <xs:attribute ref="lang"/> </xs:extension> </xs:simpleContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element>
