xlink:show

• The xlink:show attribute has five predefined values:

  • replace

  • new

  • embed

  • other

  • none

• Can have other application dependent values as well.

• Like all attributes in valid documents, the xlink:show attribute must be declared in a <!ATTLIST> declaration for the DTD's link element. For example:

  <!ELEMENT WEBSITE (#PCDATA)>
  <!ATTLIST WEBSITE 
      xmlns:xlink CDATA  #FIXED "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
      xlink:type CDATA   #FIXED "simple"
      xlink:href CDATA   #REQUIRED
      xlink:show (new | replace | embed) #IMPLIED "replace"
