HTML 4.0 Logo Reader Icon PPC Logo lang

This attribute establishes the language used in the text it describes. This value prevents improper hyphenation for non-English content. If xml:lang is specified, the xml:lang value over-rides the setting of lang.

Note that because this is not an OEB-supported attribute, in documents of media type text\x-oeb1-document you must use the xml:lang attribute instead. In documents of media type text\html you can use either lang or xml: lang to specify the book’s language.

This is a Microsoft Reader-specific tag.
