TEI element ptr (pointer)

<ptr>

<ptr> (pointer) defines a pointer to another location. 3.6 Simple Links and Cross-References 16.1 Links

Module

core — 3 Elements Available in All TEI Documents

In addition to global attributes

att.pointing (@target, @evaluate) att.typed (@type, @subtype) att.declaring (@decls)

cRef

(canonical reference) specifies the destination of the pointer by supplying a canonical reference from a scheme defined in a refsDecl element in the TEI header

Status	Optional
Datatype	1–∞ occurrences of <rng:ref name="data.word"/> data.word separated by whitespace
Values	the value of cRef should be constructed so that when the algorithm for the resolution of canonical references (described in section 16.2.5 Canonical References) is applied to it the result is a valid URI reference to the intended target
Note	The refsDecl to use may be indicated with the decls attribute. Currently these Guidelines only provide for a single canonical reference to be encoded on any given ptr element.
