Description
The global attribute itemref
Properties that are not descendants of an element with the itemscope
attribute can be associated with the item using an itemref
. itemref
provides a list of element id's (not itemid
s) with additional properties elsewhere in the document.
The itemref
attribute can only be specified on elements that have an itemscope
attribute specified.
Note: the itemref
attribute is not part of the microdata data model. It is merely a syntactic construct to aid authors in adding annotations to pages where the data to be annotated does not follow a convenient tree structure. For example, it allows authors to mark up data in a table so that each column defines a separate item while keeping the properties in the cells.
