<p id="par_idN106F5" class="paragraph" dir="auto">XForms are a new type of web form that was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium. The XForm model is defined in Extensible Markup Language (XML). The model uses separate sections to describe what a form does and what a form looks like. You can view the specification for XForms at: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/"><span class="emph">https://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/</span></a>.</p>
