In an XML Schema, you might have a comment node such as the following:


<xsd:schema ...> <!-- The following element is .... --> <xsd:element name="..."/>

The contents of a comment node have meaning only when a person reads them. However, the contents of annotation nodes can be operated on. For example:

<xsd:schema ... > 
               

              
                <xsd:element name="foo"> 
                   
<xsd:annotation> 
                   

                
              
<xsd:documentation language="en"> 
               
This is a <b>foo</b> element. Use it for ... 
               
</xsd:documentation> 
               
<xsd:documentation language="jp"> 
               
xksnjgfyre fvhfdbvhjds 
               
</xsd:documentation> 
               

              
                </xsd:annotation> 
                   
</xsd:element> 
                   
...

You can apply an XSLT stylesheet to this XML Schema document. The stylesheet could generate an HTML manual by extracting the Documentation nodes in the desired language:

<xsl:stylesheet ... > 
               

              
                <xsl:template match="xsd:element"> 
                   
<xsl:apply-templates select=
                   

                
              
"xsd:annotation/xsd:documentation[@language='en']"/> 
               

              
                </xsl:template> 
                   
...
