Name

xs:simpleContent — Simple content model declaration.

Synopsis

<xs:simpleContent
           id          = xs:ID
           {any attributes with non-schema namespace}
           >
           Content: ((xs:annotation?), (xs:restriction | xs:extension))
</xs:simpleContent>

May be included in: xs:complexType (local definition), xs:complexType (global definition)

Description

This element allows the definition of a simple content model by derivation of a simple type or of another simple content complex type. It is not a component by itself (simple contents are not named) but rather declaration of the intention to define a simple content model by derivation.

The derivation method is not defined by the xs:simpleContent element, but by the choice of its child element (which is xs:restriction for a derivation by restriction, or xs:extension for a derivation by extension).

Restrictions

None.

Example

<xs:element name="title">
  <xs:complexType>
    <xs:simpleContent>
      <xs:extension base="xs:string">
        <xs:attribute ref="lang"/>
      </xs:extension>
    </xs:simpleContent>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
