Description

The ClassName tag is used to identify the name of a class. This is likely to occur only in documentation about object-oriented programming systems, languages, and architectures.

DocBook does not contain a complete set of inlines appropriate for describing object-oriented programming environments. (While it has ClassName, for example, it has nothing suitable for methods.) This will be addressed in a future version of DocBook.

Processing expectations

Formatted inline.

Children

The following elements occur in classname: beginpage, indexterm, inlinegraphic, inlinemediaobject, replaceable.

See Also

interface, property, structfield, structname, symbol, token, type.
