An answer is frequently introduced with a label, such as “A:”. If an answer has a label child element, the content of that label is used as the label for the answer. The defaultlabel attribute on the nearest ancestor qandaset of an answer can be used to indicate that a processing application should automatically generate a label for the answer.

These elements contain answer: qandaentry.
