Description​

A ToCentry contains the title of an entry in a ToC. In entries that allow nested structure, such as ToCchap, this additional wrapper is necessary in order to require that a title be present.

Processing expectations​

Formatted as a displayed block.

In real life, ToCs are usually generated automatically by the presentation system and never have to be represented explicitly in the document source.

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.

Attributes​
