Attributes

Description

<clrIdx> (Comment Author Color Index)

This attribute specifies an index into the generating application's comments color table to allow for visual (color) differentiation of different author's comments. This color is used for all comments by this author. If more authors exist than there are entries in the color table, the color index wraps around to the beginning of the table.

Note:

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema unsignedInt datatype.

<id> (Comment Author ID)

This attribute specifies a unique (within the document) zero-based identifier that refers to a single comment author.

Note:

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema unsignedInt datatype.

<initials> (Comment Author Initials)

This attribute specifies a string that represents the initials of this particular author. The value is not necessarily unique. It is intended for use by the application as an abbreviated version of the comment author's name.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_Name simple type (§4.8.9).

<lastIdx> (Index of Comment Author's last comment)

Index of the last comment added to this document by this author. New comments by this author are counted starting with the value one greater than this index.

Note:

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema unsignedInt datatype.
