The distance-type data type

The distance-type defines what type of distance is being defined in a distance element. Values include beam and hyphen. This is left as a string so that other application-specific types can be defined, but it is made a separate type so that it can be redefined more strictly.

Allowed values

Base type: xs:token

Where is this type used?

<distance> — “type” attribute
