Description​

MsgAud is part of the additional information associated with a message in a MsgSet. It identifies the audience to which a particular Msg is relevant.

Processing expectations​

May be formatted inline or as a displayed block, depending on context. Sometimes suppressed.

DocBook doesn't specify anything about how a particular audience might be identified, or how different audiences are distinguished.

On the whole, the semantics of MsgSet are not clearly defined.

Future Changes​

The InterfaceDefinition element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available in the content model of this element.

Parents​

These elements contain msgaud: msginfo.
