2.2 Document Schema
Copy
The content of all Technical Documents is defined as XML and the Technical Document Editor generates this XML as authors add Document Elements. The types of Document Elements, along with the number of each allowed (cardinality) is defined by an XML Schema.
Note
XML and XML Schema are ubiquitous for defining digital content and the rules for this information respectively. This document assumes the reader’s familiarity with both.
Note
This document will use the terms ‘XML Element’ and ‘Document Element’ interchangeably. However, the term ‘Document Element’ has additional meaning in the way they are handled specifically by the system. Document Element ‘Types’ are defined in Section 2.3.2.
