pointerGroup

pointerGroup defines a set of attributes common to all elements which enclose groups of pointer elements.
Member of classes pointer  
Members altGrp joinGrp linkGrp
Declaration 

<!ENTITY % a.pointerGroup '
      %a.pointer;
      domains IDREFS #IMPLIED
      targFunc NMTOKENS #IMPLIED'>
Attributes (In addition to global attributes and those inherited from pointer)
domains optionally specifies the identifiers of the elements within which all elements indicated by the contents of this element lie.
Datatype: IDREFS
Values: a list of at least two valid identifiers.
Default: #IMPLIED
Example: 
<linkGrp type='imitation'
         domains='dunciad dunnotes'
         targType='note l'
         targOrder="Y"> <!-- ... --> </linkGrp>
Note

If this attribute is supplied every element specified as a target must be contained within the element or elements specified by it. An application may choose whether or not to report failures to satisfy this constraint as errors, but may not access an element of the right identifier but in the wrong context. If this attribute is not supplied, then target elements may appear anywhere within the current document.
targFunc describes the function of each of the values of the targets attribute of the enclosed <link>, <join> or <alt> tags.
Datatype: NMTOKENS
Values: a list of at least two valid names.
Default: #IMPLIED
Example: 
<linkGrp resp='NPR'
         type='imitation'
         domains='dunciad dunnotes dunnotes'
         targType='note ref l'
         targFunc='source reference.to.goal goal'
         targOrder='Y'> <!-- ... --> </linkGrp>
Note

The number of separate values must match the number of values in the targets attribute in the enclosed <link>, <join> or <alt> tags (an intermediate <xptr> element may be needed to accomplish this). It should also match the number of values in the targType and domains attributes of the current tag, if those have been specified.
