===== The <linkParam> Element =====
==== Definition and Usage ====

The [[linkparam|<linkParam>]] element is used to attribute a value to a parameter
defined by the [[connectorparam|<connectorParam>]] element of the [[causalconnector|<causalConnector>]]
element referred by the parent [[link|<link>]] element.  The scope of the
attributed value is the whole parent [[link|<link>]] element.

In a [[linkparam|<linkParam>]] element, the //name// attribute refers to the name
of a connector parameter while the //value// attribute defines a value
to assigned to this parameter.

^ Name ^ Value ^ Description ^
| //name// | It may receive any string value that begins with a letter or an underscore and that only contains letters, digit, <".">, and <"_">. | The //name// attribute uniquely identifies the parameter within the referred [[causalconnector|<causalConnector>]] element. |
| //value// | Depends on the parameter defined by the [[connectorparam|<connectorParam>]] element. | The //value// attribute defines a value for the parameter.  The value is thus valid for the whole [[link|<link>]] definition. |
