About Singleton Tags and Multipart Tags

Singleton and multipart tags are part of the basic vocabulary of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language). This topic only describes them as they pertain to Siebel CRM, which uses singleton and multipart tags in the typical way.

A singleton element is a tag that includes a slash that indicates the end of the tag. It occurs in the same tag as the tag name. A singleton tag does not include child elements. The following is an example of a singleton tag:

<div od-type="pageitem" od-name="value"/>

The following is an example of a multipart tag. It does not include a slash at the end of the tag:

<div od-type="control" id="1" property="formattedHTML">
   ...HTML here... 
<!--od section control close-->
</div>
