Pages and sections

About

The <page> element is the root or top-level element of a Mallard page file. Every page has to contain it and it cannot occur in any other element. The <page> element must contain an id attribute with a unique argument. It should also contain a type attribute which should specify whether the page is a guide or topic.

Both guide and topic pages can contain sections, defined by the <section> element. These are a prominent logical part of a page or another section. Sections also have unique IDs, which can be linked to directly.

Example

<page xmlns="http://projectmallard.org/1.0/"
      type="guide"
      id="index">
