The Question of Arcs

Moving Part-way Toward Extended Link Processing


NameNotes
xlink:type Elements containing the attribute xlink:type and the value 'arc' should also be treated as arcs by XLink processors.
xlink:from Identifies the origin, using a label value from one of the locator or resource elements in the extended link. (If no value appears, defaults to all locators and resources.)
xlink:to Identifies the destination, using a label value from one of the locator or resource elements in the extended link. (If no value appears, defaults to all locators and resources.)
xlink:arcrole Provides an identifier describing the arc. Must be a URI.
xlink:title Provides a human-readable title for the arc, pretty much like the popup text that appears now in some browsers.
xlink:show Provides the options new (appear in new window), embed (included in text), and replace (appears in the current window) for the link content, as well as other and none.
xlink:actuate Offers the choices onRequest (wait for user activation) and onLoad (process automatically) to indicate when link processing should happen. other and none provide additional application-dependent options.
