xml-processing-instruction
subclass of:
- processing-directive [ superclass ]
optional part of:
- XML Character Entity Reference [ part ]
- XML comments [ part ]
- XML Numeric Character Reference [ part ]
- XML document [ whole ]
warning
to be used carefully because semantics should COMPLETELY reside in the application -- otherwise we have violated the 'XML spirit'
Comment:
XML parser must hand this to the application -- may be interpreted there, or not
example
Comment:
used for stylesheet invocation, special instructions to the application
warning
is actually NO processing instruction -- it is completely handled by the parser, anyway
example
