TitleFormatted
RIXML 2.5 Element
An element that contains the primary title of a research product with limited HTML markup permitted. Fixed in version 2.5 to be properly optional as intended, correcting a schema bug where the minOccurs=0 attribute was missing in version 2.4.
This is the primary title of the product. Limited markup permitted - HTML code for paragraph, ordered lists and unordered lists with list items, bold, underline, and italics.
Usage
Used within Content elements when formatted title presentation is needed. Now correctly optional (minOccurs=0) as specified in the Data Dictionary. Allows HTML markup for paragraph, ordered lists, unordered lists with items, bold, underline, and italics formatting.
Business Context
Provides publishers flexibility in presenting research titles with rich formatting while maintaining the plain text Title as the primary identifier. The cardinality fix ensures proper schema validation and optional implementation as designed.

Design Decisions
Fixed cardinality bug by making TitleFormatted element optional with minOccurs=0 attribute
The element was intended to be optional as documented in the Data Dictionary but the schema implementation was missing the minOccurs=0 attribute, creating a discrepancy
RIXML Release Notes v2.5, p.30
Mirror elements with 'Formatted' suffix were added to support HTML markup in text fields
Publishers were embedding HTML markup in freeform text fields like title and abstract, which could impact XML well-formedness and display unpredictably across platforms. The formatted mirror elements provide a designated place for HTML content while maintaining clean text in the original elements
