As well, the structured document tag shall satisfy the following restraints or the document shall be considered non-conformant:

  • The contents shall only be contain a single run (one set of formatting properties) with exceptions for soft carriage returns via the multiLine attribute on this element

  • The contents shall not contain more than a single paragraph or table cell and shall not contain a table row or table

[Example: Consider the following structured document tag:

<w:sdt>
<w:sdtPr>

Attributes

Description

multiLine (Allow Soft Line Breaks)

Specifies whether soft line breaks can be added to the contents of this structured document tag when this document is modified. This setting shall not affect the ability of the structured document tag to display existing soft line breaks (which shall be preserved) and shall only affect the ability to add line breaks when the document is modified by an application.

If this attribute is omitted, then the parent plain text structured document control shall not allow soft line breaks to be added to its contents.

[Example: Consider the following structured document tag:

<w:sdt>
<w:sdtPr>
…
<w:text w:multiLine="true"/>
</w:sdtPr>
…
</w:sdt>

The multiLine attribute on the text element in this structured document tag's properties specify that an application can allow soft line breaks to be added to the run contents of the structured document tag. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_OnOff simple type (§22.9.2.7).
