defined as <!ATTLIST list style (bul | num) #IMPLIED>. For importing the DTD,
you can use this rule to set up a default value in the EDD for the Style attribute of the
List element. Then, if you import a list element that has no value for style, this default
attribute value will be used for formatting purposes. Also, when you export the EDD, the
DTD will declare the style attribute for the list element as #IMPLIED.

Details
•
This rule is for importing DTDs and exporting EDDs. In FrameMaker, a default attribute
value can only be specified in the EDD, so this rule has no effect when importing a
markup instance or exporting a FrameMaker document.
•
This rule specifically does not supply an attribute value for an element that has no value
in the markup instance. It only sets up a default attribute value in the EDD. This default
value can be used for formatting by attributes. When you export the document,
FrameMaker will not add a value for the attribute to the element's start tag.
•
The rule can be used in a highest-level attribute rule to specify the value to use for
that attribute in any element. Alternatively, it can be used in an attribute rule within
an element rule to specify the value for that element only.
Examples
•
Assume you have these declarations for a markup element used for cross-references:
<!ELEMENT xref - o EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST xref
