scheme Attribute

 

Where to use the scheme Attribute

  • As Type CDATA:
    scheme is declared on the element: meta

Description

The scheme attribute may be used on the meta element to specify the metadata scheme used. This helps correct interpretation of the content attribute.

For example, scheme="DD-MM-YY" may be used to disambiguate a date specified by content="06-01-08". The possible values of the scheme attribute will depend on (and should be specified in) the document's associated profile (as given by the profile attribute of the head element).
