<shortdesc>You can use the <codeph>any</codeph> element in a similar | |
way as a DTD's ANY content model, however, it must be done in conjunction | |
with namespaces. This enables you to include any well-formed XML content, | |
such as an HTML Web page that conforms to XHTML 1.0 syntax.</shortdesc> | |

<complexType> | |
<any namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" | |
minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" processContents="skip"/> | |
</complexType> | |
</element></codeblock></p><p>The preceding schema fragment allows | |
a <codeph><MyWebPage></codeph> element to contain any well-formed | |
XHTML data that appears in the specified namespace.</p><p>The following | |
instructions were written for the Resource perspective, but they will | |
also work in many other perspectives.</p><p>To add an <codeph>any</codeph> element, | |
complete the following steps:</p></context> | |
<steps> | |
<step><cmd>In the Outline view, right-click the content model that | |
you want to work with and click <uicontrol>Add Any</uicontrol>. </cmd> | |
</step> | |
<step><cmd>Select the new <codeph>any</codeph> element.</cmd></step> | |
<step><cmd>In the Properties view, for a <uicontrol>Namespace</uicontrol> value, | |
you can select:</cmd> | |
<choices> | |
<choice><b>##any</b>: this allows any well-formed XML from any namespace.</choice> | |
<choice><b>##local </b>: this allows any well-formed XML that is not | |
declared to be in a namespace.</choice> | |
<choice><b>##other </b>: this allows any well-formed XML that is not | |
from the target namespace of the type being defined.</choice> | |
<choice><b>##targetNamespace</b>: this is shorthand for the target | |
namespace of the type being defined.</choice> | |
</choices> | |
</step> | |
<step><cmd>For a <uicontrol>Process Contents</uicontrol> value, you | |
can select:</cmd> | |
<choices> | |
<choice><b>skip</b>: the XML processor will not validate the content | |
at all.</choice> | |
<choice><b>lax</b>: the XML processor will validate the content as | |
much as it can.</choice> | |
<choice><b>strict</b>: the XML processor will validate all the content.</choice> | |
</choices> | |
</step> | |
<step><cmd>The <uicontrol>Minimum Occurrence</uicontrol> value is | |
the number of times the <codeph>any</codeph> element must appear in | |
an instance document. You can select <uicontrol>0</uicontrol> if you | |
want the element to be optional; otherwise, select <uicontrol>1</uicontrol>. </cmd> | |
</step> | |
<step><cmd>The <uicontrol>Maximum Occurrence</uicontrol> value is | |
the maximum number of times an <codeph>any</codeph> element can appear | |
in an instance document. You can select <uicontrol>0</uicontrol>, <uicontrol>1</uicontrol>, | |
or, to indicate there is no maximum number of occurrences, <uicontrol>unbounded</uicontrol>.</cmd> | |
</step> | |
<step><cmd>Click the <uicontrol>Documentation</uicontrol> tab if you | |
want to provide any information about this element. <?Pub Caret?></cmd> | |
<info>The <uicontrol>Documentation</uicontrol> page is used for human | |
readable material, such as a description.</info></step> | |
<step><cmd>Click the <uicontrol>Extensions</uicontrol> tab if you | |
want to add application information elements to your annotations of | |
schema components. </cmd><info>The <uicontrol>Extensions</uicontrol> page | |
allows you to specify the schema and add XML content to your annotations.</info> | |
