| supports nested <filterchain> elements. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>If you want to simulate <a href="property.html">property</a>'s |
| prefix attribute, please use <a |
| href="../CoreTypes/filterchain.html#prefixlines">prefixlines</a> |
| filter.</p> |
| |
| <h3>Parameters</h3> |
| <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> |
