refclass — The scope or other indication of applicability of a reference entry
The RefClass
element describes the applicability or scope
of a RefEntry
. A RefClass
might indicate that
the entry was only applicable to a particular application, for example,
or only to a particular vendor’s operating system.
May be formatted inline or as a displayed block, depending on context. Sometimes suppressed.
Formatting reference pages may require a fairly sophisticated
processing system. Much of the meta-information about a
reference page (its name, type, purpose, title, and
classification) is stored in wrappers near the beginning of
the RefEntry
.
Common presentational features, such as titles and running heads, may require data from several of these wrappers plus some generated text. Other formatting often requires that these elements be reordered.
