Description

Defines an hypertext link to another part of the eAIP, or to another document altogether.

Example:
<a href="#GEN-1.7">GEN 1.7</a>
In this example, we create an internal link to the element whose id is "GEN-1.7". The text of the link is "GEN 1.7", which is used in HTML, for instance, to display the link on screen. On paper, only "GEN 1.7" would be visible.

Example:
<a href="http://www.caa.test">CAA Web site</a>
This example illustrates an external link to a fake CAA Web site.

Example:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>
This example illustrates an email address.

This is an XHTML element, derived from W3C's HTML 4.01 Recommendation. For more information, please refer to http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/elements.html.

Attributes

accesskeyOptionalType: text 
charsetOptionalType: text 
classOptionalType: space-separated XML name tokens

Style class selector. Any valid class name can be input here, as it depends on the set of style sheets you have developed (for HTML classes implementation, see html/eAIP.css in the eAIP Specimen). Several classes can be specified using a space as separator. Note that class names are the same for both HTML and XSL-FO.

hrefOptionalType: text

href must be a valid URL. External links are composed of a protocol (http:), a location (//www.caa.test), a document name (/index.html) and a target in the document (#top). For internal link, only the target is provided since we link to the current document. The "target", after the # character, is the id of an element. Links validity is not enforced by the DTD and should be checked separately.

hreflangOptionalType: XML name token 
idOptionalType: unique ID

Identifier for the element. This must be unique for within an eAIP, which is enforced at validation. The id value can then be used for reference from other elements, as it is the case with the Ref attribute of an e:Abbreviation.

relOptionalType: space-separated XML name tokens 
revOptionalType: space-separated XML name tokens 
tabindexOptionalType: text 
titleOptionalType: text

This attribute allows to provide some more information about the element. It is not always used: check with the style sheets. When it is used in HTML, elements will have their title attribute displayed as a pop-up when the mouse is left over them for a while, much like Abbreviations. It is not yet used in XSL-FO.

typeOptionalType: text 
UpdatedOptionalChoice: Inserted, Deleted, No
Default: No

Amendment: Indicates if the element has been updated since the previous AIP issue and how.

  • "Inserted" means the whole element has been inserted;
  • "Deleted" means the whole element has been deleted;
  • if not specified, then there was no update since the previous issue.

If only parts of the element are amended, then these parts (i.e. child elements) must be marked as such, not the parent element.

When an element is changed, editors must duplicate the element and mark one copy as "Inserted" and the other as "Deleted".

Updated-refOptionalType: ID reference

Reference to the id of an e:Amendment by which the current element is changed. This attribute is relevant only if the Updated attribute is set.

xml:langOptionalType: XML name token

This is a standard XML attribute, which specifies the language in which the element's content is expressed. The value must be a valid ISO-639 (and ISO-3166, additionally) language code, such as "en" for English, "fr" for French and "de-CH" for Swiss German.

When used on the root element, this attribute sets the default language for the entire eAIP. On any other element, it overrides the default (or the parent) language, so that the element can be presented differently (using appropriate XSLT code) or in order to apply selective process to it, such as spell-checking in the right language.
