XML for Domino
The following topics cover some general guidelines for using XML in Domino applications and list all the elements, attributes, and entities in the Domino Document Type Definition (DTD):
The Domino DTD
The Domino Document Type Definition (DTD) describes the structure of DXL, the Domino version of Extensible Markup Language (XML). The DTD contains the definitions of the XML tags that you can use to validate your XML documents while converting external XML data into Domino databases or to understand any XML documents produced while exporting internal Domino databases into XML.
block (Domino DTD)

block (Domino DTD)

Represents a block of rich text. This element is useful when importing DXL written from scratch. It enables you to apply one formatting style to a chunk of rich text, rather than having to include numerous <run> elements to define each line of text.

Containment Hierarchy

Contained by: %richtext.block;

Contains: <font>, %richtext.block;

Syntax

<!ELEMENT block ( font?, (%richtext.block;)* )>

Content

font?, (%richtext.block;)*

Contains an optional <font> element, followed by any number of the contents of the %richtext.block; entity.

Attributes

html

If true, the rich text block is in passthru HTML format. Default is false.
