XDIME (XHTML Device Independent Markup Extensions) the original XML vocabulary developed by Antenna Software for use with MCS. The elements partly reflect the usage of tags in languages such as XHTML and WML, though the exact syntax and attributes may not be identical.
Additionally there are several groups of elements that are specific to XDIME.
A flexible container structure that allows for nesting and the maintenance of reusable code fragments
Binding to policies, layouts and themes
Page caching options
Tags for forms using XForms concepts and allowing form fragmentation
Elements for menu structures
The example contains a canvas, or page, which is bound to a layout in the layoutName. The logo defines an image policy. The layout has three panes. Two panes are defined with pane elements, and a third pane defined with the alternate pane attribute syntax on the paragraph.

shelter elsewhere.</p>

</canvas>In XDIME, you can refer to images using the img or logo elements. Both elements can take one of three attributes to name a policy or specify a URL.
You should use the src attribute to name a policy containing a convertible image variant. To locate an image on the file system use the url attribute. If you use the urlc attribute, MCS locates a convertible image file (as distinct from a policy name) to be used for transcoding.
