markup-identification

declaration/definition

Syntax
declare markup-identification (#base | #full)


Purpose

Use the markup-identification declaration to change the default interpretation of element names in element rule headers, and element context inquiries. The default interpretation is #full. A markup-identification declaration can specify either #full or #base.

A markup-identification declaration affects element names which follow, up to the next markup-identification declaration, or to the end of the program. #xmlns is not a legal value, because element names in element rule headers may not be prefixed by #xmlns.

Example:


  
  
    declare markup-identification #base
  
    element x
      do when parent of ancestor z is foo
         ...
       done
  is equivalent to: 
  
    element #base x
      do when parent of ancestor #base z is #base foo
       ...
       done
