Modifying Attributes
For this exercise, use the Arbortext XML DocBook document you modified in the previous exercise.
Tags such as sections, titles, paragraphs, and lists make up the basic structure of a document. An attribute defines a particular aspect of a tag. Adding attributes assigns special properties such as file references, magnification, and font styles.
