Editing WoW:XML inheritance (section)

== Summary ==

WoW UI [[XML elements]] have multiple types of hierarchical relationships between them. Some XML elements are derived from others, which means that they inherit the attributes and other element definitions of their parent. Generally the same rules for inheritance hierarchy and attributes apply to both the [[XML]] based [[FrameXML]], and the [[Lua]] based [[UIObject API]]. However, this is not always true.

==== Inheritance Example ====

* LayoutFrame
** name (attribute)
:* Frame (is a LayoutFrame too)
:** name (attribute, inherited from LayoutFrame)
:** Frames (element array of Frame)
::* Button (is a Frame too, which is also a LayoutFrame)
::** name (attribute, inherited from LayoutFrame through Frame)
::** Frames (element array of Frame, inherited from Frame)
