Syntax
Usage
The ElementBegin and ElementEnd statements define elements that contain other elements.
The Element statement defines an element with no subelements. If the element is inserted in the book
structure from the Element Catalog, this statement includes only the ETag substatement. If the element
corresponds to a book component, this statement encodes the sequence number of the corresponding
component file. If the element corresponds to an unstructured component file, the ETag string value is
empty. (For more information about structured documents, see Using FrameMaker+SGML.)
