Help on using the <meaning> tag

Using the <meaning> tag

Description The meaning tag is used to give the meaning of the term being defined in a definition tag. Each term can have multiple definitions and therefore multiple meaning tags.

Example

This CNXML:

<definition id='quardef'>
  <term>quarter</term>
  <meaning>
    One fourth of something.
  </meaning>
  <example id='defex1'>
    <para id='parex1'>
      "He cut the pie into quarters and gave 
      all four people a piece."
    </para>
  </example>
  <meaning>
    25 cents, a quarter of a dollar.
  </meaning>
