PropertiesThe <properties> element gives a list
of properties for the subject of the current topic, for example whether a
class is public or protected. Each property can include the type, value, and
a description. The typical rendering is usually in a table-like format. To
represent multiple values for a type, just create additional property elements
and use only the <propvalue> element (and <propdesc>
when needed) for each successive value.
<properties>
<prophead>
<proptypehd>Visual Element</proptypehd>
<propvaluehd>Value</propvaluehd>
<propdeschd>Implication</propdeschd>
<property>
<proptype>color</proptype>
<propvalue>red</propvalue>
<propdesc>depicts anger</propdesc>
</property>
<property>
<propvalue>green</propvalue>
<propdesc>depicts permission</propdesc>
</property>
</properties>
