saveInvalidXml (Allow Saving Document As XML File When Custom XML Markup Is Invalid)

This element specifies that this document should be capable of being saved into a format consisting of a single XML file (not defined by this Office Open XML Standard) when its contents are invalid based on the custom XML markup contained in the document. This setting has no effect on documents that do not contain custom XML markup, or that do contain custom XML markup but do not have a schema attached. [Guidance: Because this setting specifies behavior when saving to an alternative file format not defined by this Office Open XML Standard, this behavior is optional. end guidance]

If this element is omitted, then applications should not allow this document to be saved into a single XML file when its contents are invalid based on the custom XML markup contained in the document. If the doNotValidateAgainstSchema element (§2.15.1.42) is set, then the XML is never "invalid" and this property is ignored.

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document which should be saved into a single XML file even when its custom XML content is marked invalid by applications which support this operation. This requirement is specified using the following WordprocessingML in the document settings:

<w:saveInvalidXml w:val="true" />

The saveInvalidXml element's val attribute has a value of true specifying that the content in this document can be saved regardless of its validation status. end example]

Attributes

Description

val (On/Off Value)

Specifies a binary value for the property defined by the parent XML element.

A value of on, 1, or true specifies that the property shall be explicitly applied. This is the default value for this attribute, and is implied when the parent element is present, but this attribute is omitted.

A value of off, 0, or false specifies that the property shall be explicitly turned off.

[Example: For example, consider the following on/off property:

<w:… w:val="off"/>

The val attribute explicitly declares that the property is turned off. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_OnOff simple type (§2.18.67).
