Defining attributes
The ATTRIBUTES block defines attributes inside the main TAG block. The
ATTRIBUTES block can only contain
ATTRIB tags. The following example
demonstrates the definition of four tag attributes:
VALUE, TITLE, ALT, and ALIGN.
<ATTRIBUTES>
<ATTRIB NAME="VALUE">
<ATTRIB NAME="TITLE">
<ATTRIB NAME="ALT">
<ATTRIB NAME="ALIGN">
</ATTRIBUTES>
In most cases, features such as Tag Insight require more than just the names of the
attributes. You can use the
ATTRIB tag to define the following attributes:
• Attribute value types (color, file path, and so on.)
• Enumerated values (LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, BOTTOM for the ALIGN attribute)
Defining attribute value types
The value type for a specific attribute can be specified using the TYPE attribute in the
ATTRIB tag.
<ATTRIBUTES>
<ATTRIB NAME="VALUE" TYPE="text" />
<ATTRIB NAME="BGCOLOR" TYPE="color"/>
<ATTRIB NAME="FONTFACE" TYPE="font" />
</ATTRIBUTES>
The following table describes the valid value types of the ATTRIB tag.
Value type Description
TEXT Free text content
ENUMERATED A list of enumerated values
COLOR A color value (name or hex)
FONT Font name or font family
FILEPATH A full file path
DIRECTORY A directory path
FILENAME File name only
RELATIVEPATH A relative representation of the path
FLAG An ON/OFF attribute containing no value
