Basic Fields

The following field element defines a basic field with the name title:

<field mime-type="text/plain" type="basic" name="title">
  <constraints>
    <required>true</required>
  </constraints>
</field>

Note the following points:

  • The name attribute may not contain spaces and must start with a letter (not a number).

  • The mime-type attribute specifies more precisely the type of data allowed in the field. Currently, the following mime-type values are supported:

    text/plain (default)

    Any text. A simple text editing field is displayed in CUE.

    application/xhmtl+xml

    XHTML. A rich text editor with a formatting toolbar is displayed in CUE.

  • The optional constraints child element specifies that a value is required.
