HDITA: <div>
MDITA (core and extended profiles): There is no specific support in the MDITA core profile. If needed, use an HDITA snippet.

Attributes

The available attributes vary based on the authoring format:

MDITA: There is no attribute support for the MDITA core profile. For the MDITA extended profile, attributes can be specified by using the HDITA representation.
