Attributes
Description
Within a qandaentry, a
question may have an answer. An
answer is optional (some questions have no answers)
and may be repeated (some questions have more than one answer).
Processing expectations
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.
