| In many cases, the definition type can be automatically inferred. In others, you may have to manually mark up the type using any of several methods, whichever is most convenient. | In many cases, the definition type can be automatically inferred.

| The following methods are listed in order of convenience to use, but in *reverse* order of power. That is, the very last method (manually specifying the type) wins out over everything else, and the very first method (inferring type from contents) will only be used if all the others fail. | The following methods are listed in order of convenience to use, but in **reverse** order of power.

| Finally, one may manually specify the definition type. This is very simple - just add a ''data-dfn-type'' attribute to the definition, with its value set to one of the definition types above (the types, like "property", not the classes or prefixes like "propdef"). | Finally, one may manually specify the definition type.

| If using [[http://wiki.csswg.org/tools|Tab's preprocessor]], this is easier - just add the definition type as a boolean attribute. That is, instead of writing ''<dfn data-dfn-type=function>foo()</dfn>'', just write ''<dfn function>foo()</dfn>''. The preprocessor will automatically canonicalize this into a valid ''data-dfn-type'' attribute in the output. | If using [[http://wiki.csswg.org/tools|Tab's preprocessor]], this is easier - just add the definition type as a boolean attribute.
