About Singleton and Multi-Part Tags

Singleton and multi-part tags are part of the basic vocabulary of SGML, so they are only discussed here to introduce the concepts and terminology. Siebel eBusiness Applications use singleton and multi-part tags in the standard way.

A singleton element is a tag that includes the end-tag slash in the same tag as the tag name. There are no child elements in a singleton tag. The following is an example of a singleton tag:

<swe:pageitem name="value"/>

The following is an example of a multi-part tag because it does not have the end-tag slash:

<swe:control id="1" property="formattedHTML">

...HTML here...

</swe:control>
