Description
Hardware
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
.
Processing expectations
Formatted inline. The MoreInfo
attribute can help generate a link or query to retrieve additional information.
Future Changes
In DocBook V4.0, the content model of Hardware
will be constrained to (#PCDATA | Replaceable | InlineGraphic)
.
