Identifies an attribute, and usually values in the attribute,
to take an action on. The attribute must be a conditional processing
attribute: platform, product, audience, props. and otheprops; or a
specialization of the props attribute.
A prop element may do one of the following:
- A prop element with no @att attribute specified sets a default
action for every prop element. It is an error to use more than one
prop element with no attribute in a single document. Recovery from
this error is implementation dependent; in such cases processors may,
but need not, provide an error or warning message.
- A prop element with an @att attribute but no @value attribute
sets a default action for that specific attribute. For each specific
attribute, it is an error to use more than one prop element with that
attribute and no value in a single document. Recovery from this error
is implementation dependent; in such cases processors may, but need
not, provide an error or warning message.
- A prop attribute with an @att attribute and a @value attribute
sets an action for that value within that attribute. It is an error
to use more than one prop element with the same attribute and value.
Recovery from this error is implementation dependent; in such cases
processors may, but need not, provide an error or warning message.
Example
See the example
in the <val> description.
Attributes
| Name |
Description |
Data Type |
Default Value |
Required? |
| att |
The attribute to be acted upon. Must be one of props, audience,
platform, product, otherprops, or a specialization of props. If the
att attribute is absent, then the prop element declares a default
behavior for any conditional processing attribute. |
CDATA |
#IMPLIED |
no |
| val |
The value to be acted upon. If the val attribute is absent,
then the prop element declares a default behavior for any value in
the specified attribute. |
CDATA |
#IMPLIED |
no |
| action |
The action to be taken. The options are:
- include
- Include the content in output. This is the default behavior unless
otherwise set.
- exclude
- Exclude the content from output (if all values in the particular
attribute are excluded).
- passthrough
- Include the content in output, and preserve the attribute value
as part of the output stream for further processing by a runtime engine,
for example runtime filtering based on individual user settings. The
value should be preserved in whatever syntax is required by the target
runtime. Values that are not explicitly passed through should be removed
from the output stream, even though the content is still included.
- flag
- Include and flag the content on output (if the content has not
been excluded).
|
(include | exclude | passthrough | flag) |
#IMPLIED |
yes |
| color |
If flag has been set, the color to use to flag text. Colors
may be entered by name or code. Processor support is recommended for
the color names listed under the heading "<color>" in http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/slice5.html#section-N8794-Property-Datatypes and for the 6 digit hex code form (#rrggbb,
case insensitive). If flag has not been set, this attribute is ignored. |
CDATA |
#IMPLIED |
no |
| backcolor |
If flag has been set, the color to use as background for
flagged text. Colors may be entered by name or code. Processor support
is recommended for the color names listed under the heading "<color>"
in http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/slice5.html#section-N8794-Property-Datatypes and for the 6 digit hex code form (#rrggbb,
case insensitive). If flag has not been set, this attribute is ignored. |
CDATA |
#IMPLIED |
no |
| style |
If flag has been set, the text style to use for flagged text.
The following values are enumerated:
- underline
- double-underline
- italics
- overline
- bold
If flag has not been set, this attribute is ignored. |
(underline | double-underline | italics | overline | bold) |
#IMPLIED |
no |
