<s> (or <sentence>)

Represents a sentence structure in text.

Note: The <sentence> element is deprecated. However, NVP supports it for the sake of backwards compatibility, treating it as an <s> element.

Attributes

This section describes the attributes you can set for the <s> element.

ssft-domaintype

This Nuance extension activates implicit matching for an ActivePrompt domain starting at a specific location in the text. The value is the ActivePrompt domain name.

xml:lang

The xml:lang attribute specifies the language and locale of the document using an identifier. If the xml:lang attribute is not specified, the default Java Virtual Machine locale is used. The value of the xml:lang attribute is defined as:

lang_value = language [DELIMITER country]

DELIMITER = "-"

language = &ltISO-639 language code>

country = <ISO-3166 country code>

For example, some valid specifications of the xml:lang attribute are:
