Note

If an ODD file makes use of this element, current processing software will not be able to generate a DTD from it. For this reason TEI P5 itself does not currently make use of interleave internally.

Example

<content>
  <interleave>
    <elementRef key="persName"/>
    <alternate minOccurs="0">
      <elementRef key="placeName"/>
      <elementRef key="location"/>
    </alternate>
    <elementRef key="note" minOccurs="0"/>
  </interleave>
</content>

This example describes a content model that consists of a mandatory persName element, zero or one of either placeName or location, and an optional note element, in any order.

To express this content model in a DTD, the original schema language for XML, one might use 

(   persName
      | ( persName, note )
      | ( persName, ( placeName | location ) ) 
      | ( note, persName )
      | ( ( placeName | location ), persName )
      | ( persName, note, ( placeName | location ) )
      | ( persName, ( placeName | location ), note )
      | ( note, persName, ( placeName | location ) )
      | ( note, ( placeName | location ), persName )
      | ( ( placeName | location ), note, persName )
      | ( ( placeName | location ), persName, note )
    )
