Example
In this example, the value attribute for the lomDifficulty element is bound to a specified set of values. Processors should limit the values for the value attribute on the lomDifficulty element to the following set of values: easy, medium, or difficult. Other elements that have a value attribute are not affected.
<subjectScheme> <subjectdef keys="difficulty"> <subjectdef keys="easy"/> <subjectdef keys="medium"/> <subjectdef keys="difficult"/> </subjectdef> <!-- ... --> <enumerationdef> <elementdef name="lomDifficulty"/> <attributedef name="value"/> <subjectdef keyref="difficulty"/> </enumerationdef> </subjectScheme>
Attributes
The following attributes are available on this element: ID attribute group, status and base from Metadata attribute group, outputclass, Debug attribute group, class (Not for use by authors), and the attributes defined below.
- name (REQUIRED)
- Defines the element for which an attribute enumeration is defined.
- translate
- Indicates whether the content of the element
should be translated or not. For this element the
default value is "no". Setting to "yes" will
override the default. The DITA architectural
specification contains a list of each OASIS DITA
element and its common processing default for the
translate value; because this element uses an
actual default, it will always be treated as
translate="no" unless overridden
as described. Available values are:
- no
- The content of this element is not translateable.
- yes
- The content of this element is translateable.
- -dita-use-conref-target
- See Using the -dita-use-conref-target value for more information.
