-<h1 class="topictitle1">Adding simple types</h1>
-<div><p>Simple types are used to created derived datatypes. They provide
-a set of constraints on the value space (that is, a set of values) and the
-lexical space (that is, a set of valid literals) of a datatype.</p>
-<div class="section"><p>A simple type cannot have element content and cannot carry attributes.
-Elements that contain numbers (and strings, and dates, and so on) but do not
-contain any sub-elements are said to have a simple type.</p>
-<p>The following
-instructions were written for the Resource perspective, but they will also
-work in many other perspectives.</p>
-<p>To add a simple type, follow these
-steps:</p>
-</div>
-<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Open your XML schema in the XML schema editor.</span></li>
-<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Outline view, select your schema.</span> The entire
-schema and its contents should be displayed in the Graph view.</li>
-<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Graph view, right-click in the <strong>Types</strong> section and
-click <b> <span class="uicontrol">Add Simple Type</span></b>.</span></li>
-<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Properties view, click the <span class="uicontrol">General</span> tab,
-and type a new name for the simple type in the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Name</span></b> field.</span></li>
-<li class="stepexpand"><span>You can select the following options from the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Variety</span></b> list:</span><ul><li>
- <b><span class="uicontrol">atomic</span></b>. Atomic types are all the simple types
-built into the XML schema language.</li>
-<li><b><span class="uicontrol">list</span></b>. List types are comprised of sequences
-of atomic types. They have values that are comprised of finite-length sequences
-of atomic values. </li>
-<li><b><span class="uicontrol">union</span></b>. A union type enables an element or attribute
-value to be one or more instances of one type drawn from the union of multiple
-atomic and list types.</li>
-</ul>
-</li>
-<li class="stepexpand"><span>If you selected <span class="uicontrol">atomic</span> from the
-<b> <span class="uicontrol">Variety</span></b> drop
-down list, click the <b> <span class="uicontrol">More</span></b> <img src="../images/More.gif" alt="This graphic is the More button" /> button next to the
-<b> <span class="uicontrol">Base
-type</span></b> field to specify a base type for the simple type.</span> The Set
-Type dialog lists all built-in and user-defined types currently available. You
-can change the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Scope</span></b> of the list by selecting one
-of the following options:<ul><li><b><span class="uicontrol">Workspace</span></b>. Lists all of the types available in
-your workspace. </li>
-<li><b><span class="uicontrol">Enclosing Project</span></b>. Lists all of the types available
-in the project that contains your file. </li>
-<li>(Default)<b> <span class="uicontrol">Current Resource</span>.</b> List all of the types
-available in your current file.</li>
-</ul>
- </li>
-<li class="stepexpand"><span>If you selected <span class="uicontrol">list</span> from the
-<b> <span class="uicontrol">Variety</span></b> drop
-down list, click the <b> <span class="uicontrol">More</span></b> <img src="../images/More.gif" alt="This graphic is the More button" /> button next to the
-<b> <span class="uicontrol">Item
-type</span> </b>field to specify a item type for the simple type.</span> The
-Set Type dialog lists all built-in and user-defined types currently available.
-You can change the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Scope</span></b> of the list by selecting one
-of the following options:<ul><li><b><span class="uicontrol">Workspace</span></b>. Lists all of the types available in
-your workspace. </li>
-<li><b><span class="uicontrol">Enclosing Project</span></b>. Lists all of the types available
-in the project that contains your file. </li>
-<li>(Default) <b> <span class="uicontrol">Current Resource</span></b>. List all of the types
-available in your current file.</li>
-</ul>
- </li>
-<li class="stepexpand"><span>If you selected <span class="uicontrol">union</span> from the
-<b> <span class="uicontrol">Variety</span></b> drop
-down list, click the <b> <span class="uicontrol">More</span></b> <img src="../images/More.gif" alt="This graphic is the More button" /> button next to the
-<b> <span class="uicontrol">Member
-types</span> </b>field to specify the member types for the simple type.</span> You can select to add both
-<b> <span class="uicontrol">Built-in simple types</span></b> and <b> <span class="uicontrol">User-defined
-simple types</span></b> to the member types value list. </li>
-<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Enumerations</span></b> tab.</span> Enumerations
-help you to define a set of valid values for simple types. They are the actual
-values the simple type can take as valid values in the instance document.
-You can either add one enumeration or several enumerations at a time:<ol type="a"><li class="substepexpand"><span>To add one enumeration at a time, click the
- <b> <span class="uicontrol">Add</span></b> button
-and specify a value for the enumeration.</span></li>
-<li class="substepexpand"><span>To add several enumerations at one time, follow these steps:</span> <ol type="i"><li>Click the
- <b> <span class="uicontrol">Add...</span></b> button.</li>
-<li>Enter the value of each enumeration. Each value must be separated by the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Delimiter
-character</span></b>. For example: <samp class="codeph">First, Second</samp> will create
-two enumerations, one with the value "First" and one with the value "Second".</li>
-<li>Select the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Preserve leading and trailing whitespace</span></b> check
-box if you want any white space around your enumeration values to be preserved.
-If, for example, you select this check box, the values of <samp class="codeph">First, Second</samp> will
-show up as "First" and " Second" (there is a space before Second) because
-you put a space before "Second" when entered the value.</li>
-<li>Click <b> <span class="uicontrol">OK</span></b>. Your enumerations will be created and
-appear in the Properties view.</li>
-</ol>
-</li>
-</ol>
-</li>
-<li class="skipspace"><span>Click the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Documentation</span></b> tab if you want
-to provide any information about this simple type.</span> The <span class="uicontrol">Documentation</span> page
-is used for human readable material, such as a description, and the <span class="uicontrol">App
-Info</span> page can be used to provide information for applications.</li>
-<li class="skipspace"><span>Click the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Advanced</span></b> tab.</span> The options
-available from this page will vary depending on what option you selected in
-the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Variety</span></b> field, and the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Base type</span>,</b>
-<b> <span class="uicontrol">Item
-type</span>,</b> or <b> <span class="uicontrol">Member types</span></b> field on the <span class="uicontrol">General</span> page.</li>
-<li class="skipspace"><span>If applicable to the type, the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Facets</span></b> table
-will be populated with constraining facets. A constraining facet is an optional
-property that can be applied to a datatype to constrain its value.</span><ol type="a"><li><span>To change a facet's value, click its name in the
- <b> <span class="uicontrol">Name</span></b> column,
-then click its value (or the empty cell that will contain its value) in the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Value</span></b> column
-and type or select a new value.</span></li>
-<li><span> To change whether a facet's value is fixed or not, click its
-name in the <b>Name</b> column, then click the appropriate cell in the <b>Fixed</b> column,
-and change the value to true or false.</span></li>
-</ol>
-</li>
-<li class="stepexpand"><span>If applicable to the type, a Pattern page will be available. Click
-the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Patterns</span></b> tab to switch to it.</span> A pattern
-can be used to constrain the value of a type's lexical space (the set of string
-literals that represent the values of a type), which indirectly constrains
-the value space. For more information on adding a pattern to a simple type,
-refer to the related tasks.</li>
