Element Names


If you are creating your own XML file design, then you decide the element names, and any attribute names you may require. Such names may contain any character from the Roman alphabet (A–Z, a-z), the digits 0–9, and three punctuation characters: the underscore, the hyphen and the period. The colon can be used, but only in conjunction with "namespace” attributes.

Element names must start with an alphabetic character or with an underscore. They must not start with a number, hyphen or period.

In theory, XML names can also contain non-Roman letters, numbers and "ideograms” such as characters from Japanese scripts. We do not currently support this wider character set, however.
