Property Elements are a subgroup of the elements in the [[Oblivion XML]] schema, always found as children of [[Menu Element]]s. Loosely put, property elements define the properties of their parent element - position on the screen, color, texture, etc. In this sense they are similar to traditional xml [[traits]]. | Property Elements are a subgroup of the elements in the [[:Category: Oblivion XML|Oblivion XML]] schema, always found as children of [[Menu Element]]s.

There are two basic data types for properties - numeric and string. A number of Oblivion-specific XML entities are defined for commonly used constants of both types. Particularly useful are the numeric entities &true; and &false;, used to simulate boolean properties. | |||
Property elements may contain literal values, or a set of [[Operator Element]]s as children (but not both). When the menu is rendered, the Oblivion parser evaluates each property element to obtain the ''value'' of the property (see the operator element page for a description on how they are evaluated). If a menu element contains more than one property element of the same type, the last one defined will take precedence. If it contains no property elements for an applicable property, the default value is used (usually zero or the empty string). | Property elements may contain literal values, or a set of [[Operator Element]]s as children (but not both).
