%cptr.char.mix; | %ndxterm.char.mix; | %para.char.mix; |

An error code. Error codes are often numeric, but in some environments they may be symbolic constants.
DocBook provides four elements for identifying the parts of an error message:
ErrorCode, for the alphanumeric error code (e.g., “-2”);
ErrorName, for the symbolic name of the error
(e.g., “ENOENT”);
ErrorText, for the text of the error message (e.g., “file
not found”); and
ErrorType, for the error type (e.g., “recoverable”).
Formatted inline. The MoreInfo attribute
can help generate a link or query to retrieve additional information.
These elements contain errorcode:
action, application, attribution, bibliomisc, bridgehead, citation, citetitle, classsynopsisinfo, code, command, computeroutput, database, emphasis, entry, filename, firstterm, foreignphrase, funcparams, funcsynopsisinfo, function, glosssee, glossseealso, glossterm, hardware, interfacename, keycap, lineannotation, link, literal, literallayout, lotentry, member, msgaud, olink, option, optional, para, parameter, phrase, primary, primaryie, productname, programlisting, property, quote, refdescriptor, refentrytitle, refname, refpurpose, remark, screen, screeninfo, secondary, secondaryie, see, seealso, seealsoie, seeie, seg, segtitle, simpara, subtitle, synopsis, systemitem, td, term, termdef, tertiary, tertiaryie, th, title, titleabbrev, tocback, tocentry, tocfront, trademark, ulink, userinput.
