Container element used to hold a group of processing alternatives, for example, a <disp-formula> that is available as a <graphic> and as <mml:math>. This element is a physical grouping to contain multiple logically equivalent (substitutable) versions of the same information object. Typically these are processing alternatives and the reader is expected to see only one version of the object.
APA uses this element as follows:
(array | graphic | inline-graphic | textual-form | preformat | search-text | table | mml:math)+
One or more of any of:
