Template Specification
This chapter is the language specification for the XFA template syntax. The reference portion of this
specification with syntax descriptions begins on
page 424.
Guide to the Template Specification
This chapter provides information that will help you understand the material presented in the template
syntax reference. It describes typographic and formatting conventions and concepts represented by each
element description, including properties, one-of properties, and children. It also discusses default
properties and property occurrence.
How to Read an Element Specification
“Template Reference” on page 424
contains a subsection for each element in the XFA-Template language.
All of those subsections follow the same format; indeed, they are machine-generated.
Each element description starts with an XML syntax definition — a human readable schema for the
element.
The element description comprises nested subsections that describe each of the element’s attributes and
child elements. These attributes and child elements are partitioned into the groups: properties, one-of
properties and children, as is apparent in the following example. These groups are described in the
following subsections.
