Inline XBRL is a format for filed accounts in which one XHTML document is both the page that a person reads and the data that a program reads: each reported number is wrapped in a tag that names a concept from a published taxonomy, a context (the entity, the period, and any dimension such as a segment or category), a unit, a scale (a power of ten), a sign and the display format of the number.
