# <fvLib>

`<fvLib>` | (Feature-value library) assembles library of feature value elements.

Attributes

(In addition to global attributes and those inherited from metadata)

`type` | indicates type of feature-value library (i.e., what type of feature values it contains).
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: Character string, e.g. symbolic values.
| Default: #IMPLIED

Example

    <fvLib type="symbolic values">
       <sym id="sfirst" value="first"/>
       <sym id="ssecond" value="second"/>
       <!-- ... -->
       <sym id="ssing" value="singular"/>
       <sym id="splur" value="plural"/>
       <!-- ... -->
    </fvLib>

Note

Content defined as ((%bVal;)? & (%cVal; | ptr | join)*) in FS3.dtd.

If a `<vAlt>` member of an `<fvLib>` tag contains `<fs>` tags, the result is a semantic error.
