Subject: DOCBOOK: "jargon" element?
I have been using DocBook a lot lately to write material for a Linux class I teach. The text mainly is in Dutch, but I have to use a lot of technical terms that come from English. I tag these with <foreignphrase>; the usual stylesheets emphasize these. However, I feel that this is not the fully appropriate way of tagging these terms. For instance, if I were to translate these texts into English, I still would want to mark these words for being technical terms, especially on first occurrence, for instance for indexing. So is there an appropriate tag for things like these in DocBook (I could not identify one)? If nothing appropriate yet exists, is is conceivable to introduce an in-line element <jargon> or <technicalTerm> or something similar? -- #>!$!%(@^%#%*(&(#@#*$^@^$##*#@&(%)@**$!(&!^(#((#&%!)%*@)(&$($$%(@#)&*!^$)^@*^@) Tom "thriving on chaos" Peters NL-1062 KD nr 149 tel. +31-204080204 Amsterdam e-mail tpeters@xs4all.nl
