Description
A methodsynopsis contains the syntax summary of
a method (generally speaking, methods in the object-oriented programming
language sense).
This is one of the few places where DocBook attempts to model as
well as describe. Unlike funcsynopsis which was
designed with C language function prototypes in mind, the content model
of methodsynopsis was designed to capture a wide
range of semantics.
Processing expectations
For the most part, the processing application is expected to generate all of the parentheses, semicolons, commas, and so on required in the rendered synopsis.
Attributes
