Description

Trademark identifies a legal trademark.

One of the values of the Class attribute on Trademark is Copyright. DocBook also has a Copyright element, but it is confined to meta-information. A copyright in running text is best represented as <trademark class=copyright>.

Processing expectations

Formatted inline.

In addition to Trademark, two of the values of the Class attribute on ProductName make assertions about trademarks; presumably the same markup is intended for both Trademark and ProductName when they make assertions about trademarks.

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

class

Class indicates the type of Trademark. The default is Trade.
