| 56 | 13.13.1 XML Namespaces |
| 57 | </H2> |
| 58 | |
| 59 | <P> |
| 60 | This module has support for XML namespaces as defined in the XML |
| 61 | Namespaces proposed recommendation. |
| 62 | <a id='l2h-4592' xml:id='l2h-4592'></a> |
| 63 | <P> |
| 64 | Tag and attribute names that are defined in an XML namespace are |
| 65 | handled as if the name of the tag or element consisted of the |
| 66 | namespace (the URL that defines the namespace) followed by a |
| 67 | space and the name of the tag or attribute. For instance, the tag |
| 68 | <code><html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40'></code> is treated as if |
| 69 | the tag name was <code>'http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40 html'</code>, and |
| 70 | the tag <code><html:a href='http://frob.com'></code> inside the above |
| 71 | mentioned element is treated as if the tag name were |
| 72 | <code>'http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40 a'</code> and the attribute name as |
| 73 | if it were <code>'http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40 href'</code>. |
| 74 | |
| 75 | <P> |
| 76 | An older draft of the XML Namespaces proposal is also recognized, but |
| 77 | triggers a warning. |
