enum

Create the different choices with <item> elements. The first item is selected by default.

The returned value for the optiongroup element is the value attribute of the selected item.

Example:

   <_item value="1">First option</_item>

The returned value for the notebook parameter element is the name of the selected page/tab.

   <page name="name_page_1" _gui-text="First page">
      <param>...</param>
   </page>
   <page name="name_page_2" _gui-text="Second page">
      <param>...</param>
   </page>
</param>
