<h1 class="topictitle1">Adding an any element</h1>
<div><p>You can use the <samp class="codeph">any</samp> 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.</p>
<div class="section"><p>For example:</p>
<div class="p"><pre>&lt;element name = "MyWebPage"&gt;
&lt;complexType&gt;
&lt;any namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" processContents="skip"/&gt;
&lt;/complexType&gt;
&lt;/element&gt;</pre>
</div>
<p>The preceding schema fragment allows
a <samp class="codeph">&lt;MyWebPage&gt;</samp> 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 <samp class="codeph">any</samp> element,
complete the following steps:</p>
</div>
<ol>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Outline view, right-click the content model that
you want to work with and click <span class="uicontrol">Add Any</span>. </span>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select the new <samp class="codeph">any</samp> element.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Properties view, for a <span class="uicontrol">Namespace</span> value,
you can select:</span>
<ul>
<li><strong>##any</strong>: this allows any well-formed XML from any namespace.</li>
<li><strong>##local </strong>: this allows any well-formed XML that is not
declared to be in a namespace.</li>
<li><strong>##other </strong>: this allows any well-formed XML that is not
from the target namespace of the type being defined.</li>
<li><strong>##targetNamespace</strong>: this is shorthand for the target
namespace of the type being defined.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>For a <span class="uicontrol">Process Contents</span> value, you
can select:</span>
<ul>
<li><strong>skip</strong>: the XML processor will not validate the content
at all.</li>
<li><strong>lax</strong>: the XML processor will validate the content as
much as it can.</li>
<li><strong>strict</strong>: the XML processor will validate all the content.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>The <span class="uicontrol">Minimum Occurrence</span> value is
the number of times the <samp class="codeph">any</samp> element must appear in
an instance document. You can select <span class="uicontrol">0</span> if you
want the element to be optional; otherwise, select <span class="uicontrol">1</span>. </span>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>The <span class="uicontrol">Maximum Occurrence</span> value is
the maximum number of times an <samp class="codeph">any</samp> element can appear
in an instance document. You can select <span class="uicontrol">0</span>, <span class="uicontrol">1</span>,
or, to indicate there is no maximum number of occurrences, <span class="uicontrol">unbounded</span>.</span>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click the <span class="uicontrol">Documentation</span> tab if you
want to provide any information about this element. </span>
The <span class="uicontrol">Documentation</span> page is used for human
readable material, such as a description.</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click the <span class="uicontrol">Extensions</span> tab if you
want to add application information elements to your annotations of
schema components. </span> The <span class="uicontrol">Extensions</span> page
allows you to specify the schema and add XML content to your annotations.
