ident

supplies a name which functions as the prefix for an abbreviated pointing scheme such as a private URI scheme. The prefix constitutes the text preceding the first colon.

Status	Required
Datatype	teidata.prefix
Note	The value is limited to teidata.prefix so that it may be mapped directly to a URI prefix.

Contained by

header: listPrefixDef

May contain

core: p

linking: ab

Note

The abbreviated pointer may be dereferenced to produce either an absolute or a relative URI reference. In the latter case it is combined with the value of xml:base in force at the place where the pointing attribute occurs to form an absolute URI in the usual manner as prescribed by XML Base.

Example

<prefixDef ident="ref"
matchPattern="([a-z]+)"
replacementPattern="../../references/references.xml#$1">
<p> In the context of this project, private URIs with
the prefix "ref" point to <gi>div</gi> elements in
the project's global references.xml file.
</p>
</prefixDef>
