The 'begin' and 'end' attributes specify the range of the specially-formatted text. It is meant to be used to, for example, pillify text like "@room" or "@romeo". Note that there can be multiple mentions, and the content addressed to them isn't always what follows: "@romeo, have you seen @juliet?" has two mentions, with ranges specified for "@romeo" and "@juliet". _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
