Description
A LineAnnotation is an author or editor's comment on a line in one of the verbatim environments. These are annotations added by the documentor, not part of the original listing.
Processing expectations
Formatted inline. In verbatim environments like ProgramListing, which are often presented in a fixed width font, they may get special typographic treatment, such as italics.
If several LineAnnotations occur in the same listing, they may be aligned horizontally.

The InterfaceDefinition element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available in the content model of this element.
