Description

An ElementContent is part of an ElementConstructor. It defines the content of an element if you use an element constructor. As literals it allows any defined character, a character reference such as א, a predefined entity references such as ", and two escape sequences for the left and right brace. Since the braces are used to delimit enclosed expressions, an escape sequence is necessary to use the braces as literals. For that purpose, two adjacent braces are interpreted as a single literal brace.

Furthermore, content can be an element constructor enabling nested element structures, direct constructors creating CDATA sections, XML comments or processing instructions, and enclosed expressions that contain an expression which is evaluated and the result placed as element content.

Example

See ElementConstructor and EnclosedExpr for examples.
