lineannotation — A comment on a line in a verbatim listing
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.
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.
These elements contain lineannotation:
classsynopsisinfo
