ins and del elementsThe cite attribute
may be used to specify the address of a document that explains the
change. When that document is long, for instance the minutes of a
meeting, authors are encouraged to include a fragment identifier
pointing to the specific part of that document that discusses the
change.
If the cite attribute is
present, it must be a valid URL potentially surrounded by
spaces that explains the change. To obtain
the corresponding citation link, the value of the attribute must be
resolved relative to the
element. User agents should allow users to follow such citation
links.
The datetime
attribute may be used to specify the time and date of the change.
If present, the datetime
attribute's value must be a valid date string with optional
time.
User agents must parse the datetime attribute according to the
parse a date or time string algorithm. If that doesn't
return a date or a global date and time, then the
modification has no associated timestamp (the value is
non-conforming; it is not a valid date string with optional
time). Otherwise, the modification is marked as having been
made at the given date or global date and time. If the given
value is a global date and
time then user agents should use the associated time-zone
offset information to determine which time zone to present the given
datetime in.
The ins and del elements must implement the HTMLModElement
interface:
interface HTMLModElement : HTMLElement {
attribute DOMString cite;
attribute DOMString dateTime;
};
