Overview The "Remark" Element Table of
Contents

This element is used for information that doesn't fit in some other element or attribute. The body of the element contains the text of the remark. This is the only element (other than Revision) which allows free-form narrative text. Newlines may be embedded using the "&eol;" entity. Be sure to represent accented characters properly using the appropriate entities.

Formatting of Remarks is limited to newlines and emphasis. If you require greater power or flexibility in formatting, then place the desired content in a separate file using a different format (HTML, RTF, EPS, PDF, etc.), and embed a link to that file in the Remark element.
