USAGE

            

              
              
<scope w="100%">
  <row h="18">
    <textbox text="Hello, world"/>
  </row>
  <row h="8">
    <textbox text="Goodbye, world"/>
  </row>
</scope>
            
          

If you have a number of nodes that share common attribute values, but don't have a common parent, provide them with a no-op parent that allows consolidation of attribute specification.

In the above example, the two textbox nodes will inherit the W attribute from the scope tag.
