Elements in italic represent XML attributes, not to be confused with attributes of Mendix objects. In XML information is stored in two places:

  1. In attributes inside the tag, e.g. <person name="Jornt">.
  2. In child elements, e.g. <person><company>Mendix</company>.

The Modeler allows you to map both and displays attributes in italic so that you see which is which.
