<dateline>

A natural-language statement of the date and/or place of creation of the content

Note

Usage note

User Note: The dateline provides a natural-language statement of the date and/or place of the news content creation, to be displayed in situations where an abstract of the content is shown (case of search results) or the content is remote.

Traditionally a dateline indicates when and where news content is created, not necessarily the time and place relative to the news event.

As an example a dateline BAGHDAD, March 26, 2007 (AFP) could head a story about blast in Mosul, because the story was actually written in Baghdad. Also, by tradition a dateline will follow the stylebook of the information provider and possibly leave out certain time and location information that could be useful for specifying searches of a database. Editorial policy dictates the dateline; it is not automatically derivable from other markup (location, date, etc.). The dateline should not end with a separating character (of the kind that separates the dateline from the first sentence in a traditional wire story).

Content model

Any of these, in any order, each 0..∞:

<inline>

Also accepts elements from other namespaces (extension point).

From i18nAttributes
`xml:lang`		optional	Specifies the language of this property and potentially all descendant properties. xml:lang values of descendant properties override this value. Values are determined by Internet BCP 47.
`dir`		optional	The directionality of textual content (enumeration: ltr, rtl)
From rankingAttributes
`rank`	`nonNegativeInteger`	optional	Indicates the relative importance of properties in a list.
