Action elements are namespace-qualified elements in a template document that are used for simple logic control or are used to create HTML elements for HTML forms. The namespace used to qualify the elements is http://www.novell.com/dirxml/manualtask/form. In this document and in the sample templates supplied with the Manual Task Service driver the prefix used is form.
Any action element not specifically covered in this section is stripped from the output document by the template-processing style sheet (unless the style sheet is customized). This behavior allows, for example, the use of a form:text element to enclose the data for a plain text e-mail message, thereby making the template valid XML.
