glyph-data
Glyph Data Character Being Referenced
An IDREF-type attribute that points to the @id attribute of the <glyph-data> character inside a <private-char> element. The idea is to use the full
<glyph-data> with its name and bitmap once,
then point to an existing character instead of defining the entire <glyph-data> element repeatedly.
Remarks
Once a private character has been declared using a <glyph-data> element, the character can be reused by using
this attribute on a <glyph-ref> element to
point to the existing full <glyph-data>
element (bitmap included).
Used on Element: <glyph-ref>
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| An identifier (IDREF) | The pointing uses the ID/IDREF mechanism, using the @glyph-data attribute of the <glyph-ref> element to point to the @id attribute of an existing <glyph-data> element. |
| Restriction | This is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
