Syntax
Description
The
profile attribute is intended to work in
conjunction with the meta element
(and, in particular, the scheme attribute of that element) to provide a machine-parsable set of
rules, most likely in XML format. When presented with a
meta element, the user agent can read the contents of
the profile referred to in the head to gain a clear
understanding of the information contained in the
meta’s content
attribute.
Example
This example shows a link to a profile XML file in the site’s root directory:
<head profile="core-defs.xml">
Value
This attribute takes as its value the URI of the profile document.
