Description
An Interface identifies some part of a graphical user interface. This element became obsolete in DocBook V3.0 with the introduction of GUIButton, GUIIcon, GUILabel, GUIMenu, GUIMenuItem, and GUISubMenu.
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 Class attribute will be dropped from Interface. Use one of the GUI* tags instead or subclass locally with the Role attribute.
The content model of Interface will also be constrained to (#PCDATA | Replaceable | InlineGraphic).
