<chronitem> Chronology List Item

<chronitem> is a formatting element which keeps a date paired with an associated event or group of events within <chronlist>. Each instance contains a <date> item coupled with an <event>. When multiple events are associated with a single date, they are bundled using an <eventgrp> element.

  • AUDIENCE – not required. Use to set whether the element’s contents will be visible to external users or to internal ones. Possible values are: “internal” and “external.”
  • ID – not required. Creates an ID for element. Can be used for linking.
