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>.
A start tag is the name of the element enclosed in angle brackets. For example: <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:
<delimited location="INFIX">
