Attributes
The following attributes are available on this element: Universal attribute group, outputclass, spectitle, and the attributes defined below.
@type
- Defines the type of a note. For example, if the
note is a tip, the word Tip
might be used to
draw the reader's attention to it. Note that this differs from the
@type
attribute on many other DITA elements. See The type attribute for detailed information on supported values and processing implications. Available values are note, tip, fastpath, restriction, important, remember, attention, caution, notice, danger, warning, trouble, other, and -dita-use-conref-target. @othertype
- Indicates an alternate note type, when the type
is not available in the
@type
attribute value list. This value is used as the user-provided note title when the@type
attribute value is set to "other".
