adx - addressbook.xml: 1.40 - Updated wrong documentation

In some areas of the documentation the wrong XML attribute was used for the experimental feature "Formatting" (XHTML, CSS):

Wrong (attribute "type"):

<misc type="xhtml">...</misc>

Correct (attribute "format"):

<misc format="xhtml">...</misc>

Note: only the documentation was affected, not adx itself.

See Live-Demo for what you can do with the new experimental feature "Formatting" (XHTML, CSS).... read more
