<refsDecl>


<refsDecl> (references declaration) specifies how canonical references are constructed for this text.
Attributes (In addition to global attributes)
doctype identifies the document type within which this reference declaration is used.
Datatype: CDATA
Values: must be the name of a document type
Default: TEI.2
Example
<refsDecl>
    <step delim=":"
      from="DESCENDANT (1 div1 n %1)"
      refunit="chapter"/>
    <step delim=" "
      from="CHILD (1 head) STRING %2"
      length="6"
      refunit="chapterhead" />
    <step length="4"
      from="CHILD (ALL div2 n %3)"
      refunit="section" />
</refsDecl>

This example is a formal representation for the referencing scheme described informally in the following example.

Example
<refsDecl> <p>References are made up by concatenating
	  the value for the <att>n</att> attribute on each <gi>div1</gi>
	  element, followed by a colon, followed by the first six
	  characters of the first <gi>head</gi> element found within it
	  and a space, followed by exactly four characters derived from
	  the value of the <att>n</att> attribute on the next included
	  <gi>div2</gi> element. </refsDecl>
