XML Tag Notation

Each element in the document file has a start tag and an end tag. NEWTREE and

OPENTREE elements contain other elements. Elements are organized as follows:

Element Description

Command elements Actions that initialize type trees, types, and operate on

active types

Choice elements Elements within a command that specify a choice of other

elements

Sequence elements Elements within a command that specify a sequence of

other elements

Text elements Character or integer text items

Each type of element has a start tag and an end tag. Command elements are

followed by a

<NL>. Choice, sequence, and text elements are components of a

command. They are not followed by a

<NL>.

<CATEGORY> is the start tag for the CATEGORY command.

An end tag uses the same element name and includes a slash (

/) inside the left

angle bracket. For example,

</CATEGORY> is the end tag for the CATEGORY

command.

Some elements have attributes. An attribute list, when defined, appears after the

name of the element between the angle brackets of the start tag. For example:
