10.5.98 @specific-use Specific Use

Specifies distinctions in the applicability of a particular element.

This Tag Set does not limit the uses of the @specific-use attribute. For example, @specific-use could be used to mark content (such as a paragraph, note, or section) that:

  • only appears in one format (web-only, print-only, voice-only, electronic-only);

  • is intended for a particular audience (the set for-teachers versus the set for for-students, or the sets for-doctors, for-nurses, or for-the-patient);

  • is organization-sensitive material (company-only or limited-distribution) and thus not shown to all audiences;

  • has a specific use that cannot be determined from the content of the material, for example, is part of continuing medical or legal education (CME); or

  • contains an accessibility alternative that screen readers could read but that visual display devices would ignore. (See also the @alt attribute.)
