    <title>Creating the Component with a Page Tag</title>
    <para>To create the simplest variant of <property>message</property> on a page, use the
      following syntax:</para>

    <para>
      <emphasis role="bold">Example:</emphasis>
    </para>
    <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[...
 	<rich:message for="id"/>
...
]]></programlisting>

    <title>Creating the Component Dynamically Using Java</title>

    <para>
      <emphasis role="bold">Example:</emphasis>
    </para>
    <programlisting role="JAVA"><![CDATA[import org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlRichMessage;
...
HtmlRichMessage myMessage = new HtmlRichMessage();
...
]]></programlisting>
  </section>

  <section>
    <title>Details of Usage</title>
    <para> The component has the same behavior as standard <emphasis role="bold">
        <property>&lt;h:message&gt;</property>
      </emphasis>component except next two features: <itemizedlist>
        <listitem><para>It&apos;s ajaxRendered. It means that the component is reRendered after Ajax request
          automatically without outputPanel usage</para></listitem>
        <listitem><para>The component optionally provides "passed" state which will be shown if no message is displayed</para></listitem>
        <listitem><para>Provides possibility to add some marker to message. By default  a marker element
          isn't shown</para></listitem>
      </itemizedlist>
    </para>
    <para> A set of facets which can be used for marker defining: <itemizedlist>
        <listitem><para><emphasis><property>&quot;passedMarker&quot;</property></emphasis>. This facet is provided to allow setting a marker to display if
          there is no message</para></listitem>
      <listitem><para><emphasis><property>&quot;errorMarker&quot;</property></emphasis>. This facet is provided to allow setting a marker to display if there
          is a message with a severity class of "ERROR"</para></listitem>
      <listitem><para><emphasis><property>&quot;fatalMarker&quot;</property></emphasis>. This facet is provided to allow setting a marker to display if there
          is a message with a severity class of "FATAL"</para></listitem>
      <listitem><para><emphasis><property>&quot;infoMarker&quot;</property></emphasis>. This facet is provided to allow setting a marker to display if there
          is a message with a severity class of "INFO"</para></listitem>
      <listitem><para><emphasis><property>&quot;warnMarker&quot;</property></emphasis>. This facet is provided to allow setting a marker to display if there
          is a message with a severity class of "WARN"</para></listitem>
      </itemizedlist>
    </para>

    <para> The following example shows different variants for component customization. The
      attribute <emphasis><property>&quot;passedLabel&quot;</property></emphasis> is used for definition of the label to display when no message
      appears. But the message component doesn't appear before the form submission even when 
      state is defined as passed (on initial rendering). Boolean attribute<emphasis><property> &quot;showSummary&quot; </property></emphasis>defines possibility to
      display summary portion of displayed messages. The facets <emphasis><property>&quot;errorMarker&quot;</property></emphasis> and <emphasis><property>&quot;passedMarker&quot;</property></emphasis> set
      corresponding images for markers. </para>

    <para>
      <emphasis role="bold">Example:</emphasis>
    </para>
    <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[...
      	<rich:message for="id" passedLabel="No errors' showSummary="true">
      		<f:facet name="errorMarker">
      			<h:graphicImage url="/image/error.png"/>
      		</f:facet>
			<f:facet name="passedMarker">
      			<h:graphicImage url="/image/passed.png"/>
      		</f:facet>  	
		</rich:message> 	
...
]]></programlisting>

  <section>
    <title>Look-and-Feel Customization</title>

    <para>For skinnability implementation, the components use a <emphasis>
      <property>style class redefinition method.</property>
    </emphasis></para>

    <para>There are no skin parameters and default predefined values. To redefine the appearance of all <emphasis
      role="bold">
      <property>&lt;rich:message&gt;</property>
    </emphasis> components at once, you should only  add to your style sheets <emphasis>
      <property>style classes</property>
    </emphasis> used by a <emphasis
      role="bold">
      <property>&lt;rich:message&gt;</property>
    </emphasis> component.</para>

    <title>Definition of Custom Style Classes</title>

    <para>In order to redefine styles for all <emphasis role="bold">
      <property>&lt;rich:message&gt;</property>
    </emphasis> components on a page using CSS, it&apos;s enough to create classes with the
      same names (possible classes could be found in the tables <link linkend="mC"> above</link>) and define necessary properties in them. </para>
    
    <para>
      <emphasis role="bold">Example:</emphasis>

    <para>Also it&apos;s possible to change styles of particular <emphasis role="bold"
