Description
A hardware element identifies some physical
component of a computer system. Even though DocBook provides a broad
range of inlines for describing the various software components of a
system, it provides relatively few for describing hardware.
If you need to identify a number of different hardware components,
you may wish to consider extending DocBook, or at least using the
role attribute to further classify
hardware.
