The notion of a Property is very domain-dependent in computer
documentation. Some object-oriented systems speak of properties; the
components from which GUIs are constructed have properties;
and one can speak of properties in very general terms; “the properties
of a relational database.”
You might use Property for any of these in your documentation.
Formatted inline. The MoreInfo attribute
can help generate a link or query to retrieve additional information.
The content model of Property will be constrained to
