Identifies the figures in an article. In this element you must specify the element <label>, you can also specify the elements <caption>, <graphic> and <permissions>. <fig> can still have the following attributes: @fig-type and @xml:lang.

The <graphic> element is used to identify some file types and has attribute @xlink:href which is used to specify the complete name of the referenced image.

The attribute @id allows for cross-referencing within the document (link associated with an “rid”) provided that the attribute has a unique value within the file.

Note

The attribure @xml:lang is not mandatory in <fig>, the absence of this attribute means the content inside <fig> is in the same language of the document.
