FIGURE

  Description:
    (in a writing system declaration) contains an image of a
        character form, stored in-line in some declared notation.
  Attributes:
        notation:  identifies the notation in which the figure is encoded.
        Data type:  NAME
        Value:  a valid SGML name associated with a given notation by
              means of an SGML NOTATION declaration in the document type
              definition.
        Default value:  #REQUIRED
        This attribute is required.
  Example:
             <!-- in the DTD -->
             <!NOTATION charcell
                        PUBLIC '-//Anonymous//NOTATION
                                8x14 character cell format//en' >
             <!-- 'CHARCELL' is a simple-minded notation for transcribing  -->
             <!-- character images in the form used by the old IBM PC:     -->
             <!-- an eight-by-fourteen pixel character cell.  Each pixel   -->
             <!-- is represented by a period (if off) or an X (if on).     -->
             <!-- Newlines are ignored, but for obvious reasons it's       -->
             <!-- convenient to have one after each line of pixels.        -->
             <!-- N.B.  This 'notation' is given as an example; it is not  -->
             <!-- (repeat, NOT) recommended for serious use.               -->
             <!-- in the WSD itself: -->
             <character class='lexical'>
             <desc>Latin lowercase letter thorn</desc>
             <form entityStd='thorn' entityLoc='t'>
             <figure notation=charcell>
              ........
              ........
              XXX.....
              .XX.....
              .XX.....
              .XXXXX..
              .XX..XX.
              .XX..XX.
              .XX..XX.
              .XXXXX..
              .XX.....
              .XX.....
              XXXX....
              ........
             </figure>
             </form>
             </character>
  Remarks:  Inline storage of non-SGML data may be convenient for a vari-
        ety of reasons, but complications occasionally ensue if any por-
        tion of the data can be interpreted by the SGML parser as ending
        some open SGML element.  For this reason, inline storage should be
        used only for extremely simple notations such as the one shown, or
        by users well versed in dealing with SGML and graphics.  In gener-
        al, external storage of figures is recommended because less error
        prone.
