   Re: [xml-dev] simple or complexContent?

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

If the content (between the start tag and the end tag) of an element
is to be governed by a simple type definition, then use a simple type
definition for the element iff it allows no attributes, otherwise use
a complex type definition with simple content.

If the content (between the start tag and the end tag) of an element
is to be governed by a content model, that is a pattern of elements,
possibly inter-mixed with text, then use a complex type definition
with complex content.

In your case, sounds like you want simple content.
