footnoteref — A cross reference to a footnote (a footnote mark)
footnoteref ::= EMPTY
Name | Type | Default |
label | CDATA | None |
linkend | IDREF | Required |
This element forms an IDREF link to a Footnote
. It generates
the same mark or link as the Footnote
to which it points.
In technical documentation, FootnoteRef
occurs most frequently
in tables.
The FootnoteRef
element usually generates the same mark
as the Footnote
to which it points, although its mark can
be influenced by the Label
attribute.
Neither SGML nor XML provide a mechnism (at this time) for asserting
that some IDREF links must point to specific classes of elements.
If a FootnoteRef
points to something other than a
Footnote
, the parser will not report it as an error.
It is an error nonetheless. Processing is undefined.
