attribute

The attribute element is used to specify the role of a certain attribute in the current xml format.

Example

<x:roleMapping>
  <x:element   name="a"       role="hyperlink" />
  <x:attribute name="href"    role="hyperlinkreference" />
  <x:element   name="picture" role="image" />
  <x:attribute name="source"  role="imagesource" />
</x:roleMapping>

To specify the role of an attribute in a namespace, the namespace must be declared with a prefix.

Example

<x:roleMapping xmlns:myprefix="http://www.example.com/xmlns/mynamespace">
  <x:element   name="myprefix:picture" role="image" />
  <x:attribute name="myprefix:source"  role="imagesource" />
</x:roleMapping>
