17.17.4 Boolean Property

This common complex type specifies a boolean attribute used throughout WordprocessingML.

Attributes

val (On/Off Value)

Specifies a binary value for the property defined by the parent XML element.

A value of 1 or true specifies that the property shall be explicitly applied. This is the default value for this attribute, and is implied when the parent element is present, but this attribute is omitted.

A value of 0 or false specifies that the property shall be explicitly turned off.

[Example: For example, consider the following on/off property:

    <… w:val="false"/>

The val attribute explicitly declares that the property is false. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_OnOff simple type (22.9.2.7).

[Note: The W3C XML Schema definition of this complex type’s content model (CT_OnOff) is located in A.1. end note]
