<customXmlDelRangeEnd> (Custom XML Markup Deletion End)

This element specifies the end of a region in which custom XML markup has been deleted and tracked as a revision. The @id attribute on this element shall be used to link this element with the corresponding custom XML markup deletion start marker in the document.

Providing a physical representation of custom XML markup results in regions which can be inserted and deleted, but cannot be encapsulated by a single revision element, since their representation in WordprocessingML is the start or end XML tag for the custom XML markup which it represents. Therefore, the start/end "cross structure" annotation format surrounds the WordprocessingML region to which this deletion applies.

The following restrictions shall be applied to this element:

  • If this element occurs without a corresponding <customXmlDelRangeStart> element (§2.13.5.5) with a matching @id attribute value, then it shall be ignored and no deletions shall be present in the document.

  • If this element and its paired start encapsulate a range with no custom XML markup, then they shall be ignored and may be omitted when the document is subsequently saved.

  • If multiple end elements exist with the same @id attribute value, then the first instance in the document shall be used and subsequent elements should be treated as unmatched (no corresponding start).

example: 
<w:p>
  <w:customXml … >
    <w:customXml … >
      <w:r>
        <w:t>Text.</w:t>
      </w:r>
    </w:customXml>
  </w:customXml>
  <w:r>
    <w:t>More text.</w:t>
  </w:r>
</w:p>

Now, if each custom XML markup element's start and end tag have a physical representation, imagine that the region from the start of the paragraph until the point between the two end points is deleted with revisions enabled. This revision cannot be encapsulated by one <del> element, since it starts outside of the first custom XML markup element and ends just inside of it, so it must be done using the custom XML markup revision "cross structure" syntax, as follows:

<w:p>
  <w:customXmlDelRangeStart w:id="0" />
  <w:customXml … >
    <w:customXml … >
      <w:del … >
        <w:r>
          <w:delText>Text.</w:delText>
        </w:r>
      </w:del>
    </w:customXml>
    <w:customXmlDelRangeEnd w:id="0" />
  </w:customXml>
  <w:r>
    <w:t>More text.</w:t>
  </w:r>
</w:p>

The <customXmlDelRangeEnd> element delimits the end of the region in which all custom XML elements have been deleted with revisions enabled, and the <del> element (§2.13.5.12) handles the deletion of the text performed by this revision. Since the end of the outer <customXml> element was not in the deleted range, it is not revision marked deleted, but the corresponding physical character for the start element is. ]

Attributes

Description

<id> (Annotation Identifier)

Specifies a unique identifier for an annotation within a WordprocessingML document. The restrictions on the @id attribute, if any, are defined by the parent XML element.

If this attribute is omitted, then the document is non-conformant.

<w:… w:id="1" … >
  …
</w:…>

The <id> attribute specifies that the ID of the current annotation is 1. This value is used to uniquely identify this annotation within the document content. ]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_DecimalNumber simple type (§2.18.16).

The following XML Schema fragment defines the contents of this element:

<complexType name="CT_Markup">
	<attribute name="id" type="ST_DecimalNumber" use="required"/>
</complexType>
