<fs>

| ## Text Encoding Initiative
### The XML Version of the TEI Guidelines # <fs>

`<fs>` | (Feature structure) analyzes a collection of features and feature alternations as a structural unit.
Attributes | (In addition to global attributes and those inherited from complexVal, metadata)
`type` | provides a type for a feature structure.
| Datatype: CDATA
| Values: Character string, e.g. word structure.
| Default: #IMPLIED
`feats` | pointer to features.
| Datatype: IDREFS
| Values: list of individual IDs for features.
| Default: #IMPLIED
Note | May be used instead of having features as content.
`rel` | indicates the relation of the given content to the actual content or value of the feature structure.
| Datatype: (eq|ne|sb|ns)
| Legal values are:
eq | indicates that the actual content is that given.
ne | indicates that the actual content is not that given.
sb | indicates that the actual content is subsumed by the given content.
ns | indicates that the actual content is not subsumed by the given content.
| Default: sb
Note | The `<fs>` element is the only one for which the default `rel` attribute value is sb. For all others, it is eq.
