The following attributes are available on this element: universal attributes.
Example
This section is non-normative.
In the following code sample, a <div>
element is used to organize several elements together so that they
can be referenced by @conref or
@conkeyref:
<div id="rendered-table">
<p>The following screen capture shows one way the code sample might be rendered:</p>
<image keyref="rendered-table" placement="break"/>
</div>Without using a <div> element, the content
could not be grouped for content referencing since the start and
end elements are of different types.
