# Common Attribute Parameter Entities

Common Attribute Parameter Entities — Parameter entities which define the common attributes

## Synopsis

These parameter entities define the attributes that are considered “common”. Common attributes occur on every element. They are provided by either the `%common.attrib;` parameter entity or the `%idreq.common.attrib;` parameter entity. Those parameter entities are defined in terms of the others, listed here.
