PREVIOUS ELEMENT  NEXT ELEMENT  TOP  BOTTOM

<Replaces>

This element is used solely to replace one version of a file with another version. Use of Replaces is discouraged. Replacing existing versions of published articles rather than publishing new versions obscures publication history, and can make the online journal difficult for readers to cite with confidence. Also, the selfop feature allows publication of new versions, rendering the element unnecessary and deprecated. It will eventually be removed from the DTD entirely. If used, please note that its Indicator attribute is required, and the element itself should remain empty. (Optional: zero or one occurance).
Attribute(s):
Indicator -- Must be either "yes" or "no".
