disjoint anchor #ken

A ken anchor that encompasses multiple, separate stretches of content as a single composite unit.

Suppose an English teacher wants to illustrate the rhyme scheme in Shakespeare’s Sonnet 29. She might define the endings of rhyming lines to be part of a single disjoint anchor. When she later links to such an anchor, she is able to point to all items that share a common anchor ID as a unit. In the following example, she could point to all the red lines, all the blue lines, or all the green lines:

E

embeddable mode #ken

A mode of ken transformation that intends to produce output suitable for embedding in a containing website. To make the content consistent with container styling, style information is suppressed. To prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) and scriptless attacks, the output HTML is sanitized by removing various constructions (CSS, <style>, <script>, many HTML tag attributes...). Contrast standalone mode. See also natural mode.

N

natural mode #ken

The mode of ken transformation that's implied by the content of the document. Documents that contain a standalone prefix or standalone suffix property, or that contain any HTML content that would be sanitized in embeddable mode, are naturally standalone. Documents that contain no content requiring sanitization are naturally embeddable.

S

standalone mode #ken

The mode of ken transformation that intends to produce rich, self-contained documents. Such output is not sanitized, and is therefore unsafe to display as a child of any other HTML container. Contrast embeddable mode. See also natural mode.

T

transformation #ken

The process of converting ken to HTML.
