xlink:show

Showing the Link

The intended presentation behavior for a link, specifically the manner in which the content of a link will be displayed, for example, as embedded material or in a separate window.

Used on these Elements:

ValueMeaning
embedThe link should be displayed as part of the initial document being viewed, i.e., the material will be “embedded” directly into the initial document.
newThe link should be displayed as a new, separate window, frame, pane, or other presentation context.
noneThe presentation behavior is unconstrained, and no other markup is generally available in the link to assist an application in deducing the display mechanism.
otherThe presentation behavior is unconstrained, but other markup is generally available in the link to assist an application in deducing the display mechanism.
replaceThe link should be displayed in the same window, frame, pane, or other presentation context as the initial document, thereby “replacing” the document or other object being linked.
Restriction@xlink:show is an optional attribute; there is no default.
