These are the rules that process the strings of data characters within an XML or SGML document. When the condition (if any) is met, the rule is invoked once for every unbroken string of data content (consisting of data characters and entity references).

A data-content rule processes a "contiguous" sequence of text characters. A contiguous sequence of text characters could be bounded by, for example:

The following is an example of a data-content rule:

     set title-has-content to true
     output "%c"
