Description
Verbatim XML.
BDML <xml> elements provide a useful way to render verbatim XML into the translated BDML document whilst maintaining the XML structure within the source document. Any well formed XML may be placed inside a BDML <xml> element. The resulting translated document will render the XML as is.
The whitespace handling of the <xml> elements is not perfect. If character perfect whitespace handling is required, the <code> element can be used instead with lang set to "xml". Note however that all XML text placed within the <code> element will need to be escaped (e.g. < characters replaced with the < sequence), unlike XML placed inside the <xml> element.
Attributes
No attributes other than standard attributes are defined for <xml> elements.
Immediate descendants
BDML <xml> elements may contain any well formed XML fragment.
Immediate ancestors
| Element name | Relation |
|---|---|
| <chapter> | The chapter containing the BDML <xml> element. |
| <section> | The section containing the BDML <xml> element. |
Example
<document xmlns="http://boradoc.org/1.0"> <chapter> <xml> <A> <B att="some attribute text">Some element text.</B> </A> </xml> </chapter> </document>
The above BDML renders to the following:
<A> <B att="some attribute text">Some element text.</B> </A>
