OR Container with Itemref

priyank

Hi,
I am trying to get this layout:
section_container combination="or"
paragraph
List_container combination="or"
List_item


But problem is when I select section_container from List_conatiner, it gives me paragraph and List_container. But I only want one of them. Is it possible with OR cotainer and itemref.

thanks,
Priyank.

Please close your previous thread.
I'm not sure whether what you're asking is possible - this essentially maps to a DTD like:

<!ELEMENT section_container (paragraph|List_container)*>
<!ELEMENT paragraph (#CDATA)>
<!ELEMENT List_container (section_container*)>

(I'm assuming you can have 0-or-more of the contained sub-elements - hence the * - adjust as per your actual requirements.)

Based on the above - any time you reference a section_container, you are referencing the entire definition of the section_container - which includes the possibility of both paragraphs and List_containers.

If you only want paragraphs - try using an itemref for the paragraph item instead.
