# XML element

In an XML document, the start and end of an element shows as follows:

`<element name>`

`...`

`</element name>`

If an element has no sub-elements, it can end with `/>`, such as `<element name...attributes.../>`. For example,

`<text name="Text1" height="16" width="87" left="69" top="42" caption="Pump House 1"/>`
