value

属性默认值

#REQUIRED

#IMPLIED

可包含也可不包含于元素内

#FIXED value

---

Specifying a Default attribute value
指定一个默认的属性值

DTD:
<!ELEMENT square EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST square width CDATA "0">

Valid XML:
<square width="100" />

In the example above, the "square" element is defined to be an empty element with a "width" attribute of  type CDATA. If no width is specified, it has a default value of 0.
在上面的例子中，"square"元素定义为含有CDATA类型的"width"属性的空元素。如果没有指定width值，那它默认为0。

#IMPLIED

Syntax
语法

<!ATTLIST element-name attribute-name 
attribute-type #IMPLIED>

Example
例子

DTD:
<!ATTLIST contact fax CDATA #IMPLIED>

Valid XML:
<contact fax="555-667788" />

Valid XML:
<contact />

Use the #IMPLIED keyword if you don't want to force the author to include an attribute, and you don't have an option for a default value.
如果你不想让author元素包含一个属性值或对默认值不具备选择权，那么你不妨使用#IMPLIED关键字。

---

#REQUIRED

Syntax
语法

<!ATTLIST element-name attribute_name 
attribute-type #REQUIRED>

Example
例子

DTD:
<!ATTLIST person number CDATA #REQUIRED>

Valid XML:
<person number="5677" />

Invalid XML:

<person />

Use the #REQUIRED keyword if you don't have an option for a default value, but still want to force the attribute to be present.
如果你对默认值不具备选择权却想却有想让属性值存在，那么你不妨使用#REQUIRED关键字。

---

#FIXED

Syntax
语法

<!ATTLIST element-name attribute-name 
attribute-type #FIXED "value">

Example
例子

DTD:
<!ATTLIST sender company CDATA #FIXED "Microsoft">

Valid XML:
<sender company="Microsoft" />

Invalid XML:
<sender company="W3Schools" />

Use the #FIXED keyword when you want an attribute to have a fixed value without allowing the author to change it. If an author includes another value, the XML parser will return an error.
当你希望属性是一个固定值且不希望让author元素去改变它，我们建议你使用#FIXED关键字。如果author包含另外一个值，XML剖析器将会提示错误。

---

Enumerated attribute values
列举属性值方法Enumerated attribute values：

Syntax:
<!ATTLIST element-name 
 attribute-name (en1|en2|..) default-value>

DTD example:
<!ATTLIST payment type (check|cash) "cash">

XML example:
<payment type="check" />
or
<payment type="cash" />

Use enumerated attribute values when you want the attribute values to be one of a fixed set of legal values.
当你希望得到一个固定合法的属性值时，请使用列举属性值（Enumerated attribute values）的方法。
