Description |

val (Value) |
Specifies a value specified as single octet (two digit) hexadecimal number whose contents are interpreted based on the context of the parent XML element.
[Example: Consider the following value for an attribute of type ST_UCharHexNumber:
<w:… w:val="BE"/>
This value is valid, as it contains two hexadecimal digits, an encoding of an octet of the actual decimal number value. end example]
The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_UcharHexNumber simple type (§2.18.106). |
The following XML Schema fragment defines the contents of this element:
<complexType name="CT_UcharHexNumber">
<attribute name="val" type="ST_UcharHexNumber" use="required"/>
