XML Golden Rules
An element consists of a start-tag, optional content, and an end-tag. Miguel de Cervantes
An element may have attributes, each consisting of a name and a value. Miguel de Cervantes
An XML document may contain processing instructions or comments.<? xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="visualize-tei-xml.css"?>
Elements and attributes are case sensitive. <name> ≠ <Name>
Empty elements can use a minimized tag syntax. <pb/> =
Well-formed (good syntax)
- XML-Version, character set;
- A single root element (first node) contains the XML document;
- Each element is nested within the root element in a hierarchical structure: no overlapping;
- Elements, attributes, etc., are case sensitive;
- Start-tags and end-tags are mandatory;
- Attribute values are quoted.
Valid (against the schema)
- Well-formed;
- Follows a structural definition (schema);
- Which elements and attributes are used;
- Which elements and attributes can appear where;
- Names, datatypes, and default values for all attributes.
