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.
