information about this attribute.

Attempting to install the relevant ISO 2- and 3-letter
         codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never
         going to be a realistic possibility.  See
         RFC 3066 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt and the IANA registry
         at http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tag-apps.htm for
         further information.

         The union allows for the 'un-declaration' of xml:lang with
         the empty string.
xreflabel optional
xrefstyle optional

Sample

< para xmlns = "http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" >

Schemas for DocBook V5.0 are available in several formats at

< link xl:href = "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/5.0/" />

(or the mirror at

< link xl:href = "http://docbook.org/xml/5.0/" />

).Only the RELAX NG schema is normativeand it is preferred over the other schema languages. However, for yourconvenience there are also DTD and W3C XML Schema versions provided for DocBookV5.0. But please note that neither the DTD nor the W3C XML schema are able tocapture all the constraints of DocBook V5.0. This mean that adocument that validates against the DTD or XML schema is not necessarilyvalid against the RELAX NG schema and thus may not be a validDocBook V5.0 document. See

< xref linkend = "t.schema-comparison" />

for summary of constraints that are checked by different schemas.
