| <arc> encodes an arc, the connection from one node to another in a graph. 19.1 Graphs and Digraphs |

| Note | The  arc element must be used if the arcs are labeled.
    Otherwise, arcs can be encoded using the  adj,
     adjTo and  adjFrom attributes on the
     node tags in the graph. Both  arc tags and
    adjacency attributes can be used, but the resulting encoding would
    be highly redundant. Zero, one, or two children  label elements may be
    present. The first occurence of  label provides a label
    for the arc; the second provides a second label for the arc, and
    should be used if a transducer is being encoded.  |
