Synopsis

Attributes
Additional Constraints
- If this element is the root element, it must have a version attribute.
Description
The callouts, such as numbered bullets, are an
annotation mechanism. In an online system, these bullets are frequently
“hot,” and clicking on them navigates to the corresponding
annotation.
A screenco is a wrapper around an
areaspec and a screen. An
areaspec identifies the locations (coordinates) in
the screen where the callouts occur. The
screenco may also contain the list of annotations in
a calloutlist, although the
calloutlist may also occur outside of the wrapper,
elsewhere in the document.
It is also possible to embed co elements
directly in the verbatim text, in order to avoid the overhead of
calculating the correct coordinates. If you decide to follow this route,
use a screen and a calloutlist
without the screenco wrapper. A
screenco must specify at least one coordinate.
For a complete description of callouts, see
callout.
Processing expectations
Formatted as a displayed block. This element is displayed “verbatim”; whitespace and line breaks within this element are significant.
The mandatory processing expectations of a
screenco are minimal: a system is expected to
render the program listing and the callout list, if present.
If explicit co elements are embedded in a
screen, they must generate appropriate callout
marks.
In online environments, the processing system may be able to instantiate the linking relationships between the callout marks in the program listing and the annotations. Some systems may even be able to go a step further and generate the callout marks automatically from the coordinate information, but this level of sophistication is not mandatory.
