Of course, there are the RDA Elements, upon which the whole thing is based, but there are also some other element sources that you can use. We think it is important for you to tell at a glance the source of an element, caption, or vocabulary in a template, so we have assigned visual symbols to each non-RDA element type (RDA elements are not marked): text/html 2025-08-05T19:32:21+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://rimmf.com/w/doku.php?id=r3w:rimmf1:details:functionkeys&rev=1754422341&do=diff Function Keys in RIMMF We have set up a number of function keys and special keystrokes to save steps.
