Description​

The MsgText is the actual content of the message in a MsgMain, MsgSub, or MsgRel.

Processing expectations​

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

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

Future Changes​

MsgText is currently one of the general, technical inlines by accident. In DocBook V4.0, it will be limited to use within a MsgSet.

Parents​

These elements contain msgtext: msgmain, msgrel, msgsub, simplemsgentry.

Examples​

For examples, see msgset.
