Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: Purpose of <screen> in slides.dtd?

Err...do you mean <foil>? (I can't find a <slide> element.) <foil> is an organizational element. You use it to break your presentation up into individual pages. <screen> is an element which describes the content, and is used to tag "screen shots". It is formatted as a block-level element, and cannot have a <para> parent. Its contents displayed usually with a constant width font. "So how is that different from <computeroutput>?" <computeroutput>" is presented "inline", i.e. within a <para> element. <screen> is formatted into its own block. Here's an example slide using <foil>, <screen>, and <computeroutput>. m@ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE slides SYSTEM "/proj/xml/dtds/docbook/slides/slides.dtd"> <slides> <slidesinfo> <title>Sample Screen Slide</title> </slidesinfo> <section> <title>Presenting The Sample <screen> Element!</title> <foil> <title>Mixing <screen> and <computeroutput></title> <para>To list the contents of a directory in detail, use the <command>ls -l</command> command, like so:</para> <screen>condenser> ls -lF /home total 19 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 1024 Apr 6 2001 ./ drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 1024 Aug 30 2000 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Mar 3 2000 lost+found/ drwxr-xr-x 39 mbraun mbraun 2048 Oct 22 10:47 mbraun/ condenser> </screen> <para>Note that the directory named <computeroutput>mbraun</computeroutput> is listed as <computeroutput>mbraun/</computeroutput> because we also added the <option>-F</option> switch. If we add <option>-F</option> without the <option>-l</option>, the output looks like this: </para> <screen>condenser> ls /home ./ ../ lost+found/ mbraun/ condenser> </screen> </foil> </section> </slides>
