# s.property.value

## Syntax

**s.property.value**

** **

## Purpose

The s.property.value annotation is used to tag a span element as being the value of a property. It will associate this value with a preceding property type and/or a following property description.

 

The property value acts as the name or status of a specific property within its type.
