rsid (Revision Identifier for Style Definition)

This element specifies a unique four digit number which shall be used to determine the editing session in which this style definition was last modified. This value shall follow this following constraint: All document elements which specify the same rsid* values must correspond to changes made during the same editing session. An editing session is defined as the period of editing which takes place between any two subsequent save actions. [Note: This setting does not imply any behavior for the style, only that the style was last modified during one particular editing session. This information may be interpreted by an application in any manner desired. end note]

If this element is omitted, then no revision identifier shall be associated with the parent style definition.

[Example: Consider a style with a primary name of PrimaryStyleExample that is defined as follows:

<w:style … w:styleId="PStyle">
<w:name w:val="PrimaryStyleExample"/>
<w:rsid w:val="3E412D01"/>
…
</w:style>

The rsid element specifies that this style definition was last edited in the editing session corresponding to the value 3E412D01. end example]

Description

val (Long Hexadecimal Number Value)

Specifies a number value specified as a four digit hexadecimal number), whose contents of this decimal number are interpreted based on the context of the parent XML element.

[Example: Consider the following value for an attribute of type ST_LongHexNumber: 00BE2C6C.

This value is valid, as it contains four hexadecimal digits, each an encoding of an octet of the actual decimal number value. It may therefore be interpreted as desired in the context of the parent XML element, end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_LongHexNumber simple type (§2.18.57).
