WoW:XML properties: Difference between revisions

[[XML properties]] are complex [[XML]] elements used to help define major Ui [[XML elements]], for creating WoW UI frames and widgets. See also [[XML elements]], [[XML attributes]], and [[XML types]].

In XML, 'attributes' are the "inline" properties of an 'element', like <element attribute="value"/>. Each 'element' may also contain its own child elements, like <element><element attribute="value"/><element attribute="value"/></element>. An element is defined by both its attributes, and by any 'child elements' it may have. The intent for this reference is to document all of the actual complex properties, like <Size> or <Anchor>, for major elements that are not regular attributes. These along with attributes, make up the definition of a major XML Ui elements like widgets.  

Properties are usually defined in a standard order in a major element, like <Size> before <Anchors>. Major Ui elements are almost never placed directly inside another major Ui element, but inside list properties like <Frames>. Each major element only uses a subset of the properties below, like <nowiki><Font></nowiki> does not use <Scripts>.
