Attributes
Description
A segmentedlist
consists of a set of headings
(segtitle
s) and a list of parallel sets of elements.
Every seglistitem
contains a set of elements that
have a one-to-one correspondence with the headings. Each of these
elements is contained in a seg
.
Processing expectations
Segmented lists can be formatted in a number of ways. Two
popular formats are tabular and as a list of repeated headings and
elements. In a tabular presentation, each seg
is a
cell in the body of the table. In the list presentation, each
seg
occurs next to the appropriate heading.
DocBook cannot detect errors caused by too many or too few
seg
s in a seglistitem
. You will
have to rely on external processes to find those errors.
