Attributes

spanTo

indicates the end of a span initiated by the element bearing this attribute.

Status	Optional
Datatype	teidata.pointer
Schematron	The @spanTo attribute must point to an element following the current element <sch:rule context="tei:[@spanTo]"> <sch:assert test="id(substring(@spanTo,2)) and following::[@xml:id=substring(current()/@spanTo,2)]">The element indicated by @spanTo (<sch:value-of select="@spanTo"/>) must follow the current element <sch:name/> </sch:assert> </sch:rule>

Note

The span is defined as running in document order from the start of the content of the pointing element to the end of the content of the element pointed to by the spanTo attribute (if any). If no value is supplied for the attribute, the assumption is that the span is coextensive with the pointing element. If no content is present, the assumption is that the starting point of the span is immediately following the element itself.
