Additional attributes:
An example
is a formal example with a title. Examples often contain programlisting
s or other large, block elements. Frequently they are given xml:id
s and referenced from the text with xref
or link
.
Formatted as a displayed block.
DocBook does not specify the location of the example within the final displayed flow of text; it may float or remain where it is located.
A list of examples may be generated at the beginning of a document.
If a label
is specified, that label will be used for identifying the example and in generated cross-references. If unspecified, example
s are often, but not always, numbered.
If a width
is specified, formatters may use this value to determine scaling or rotation.
Common attributes and common linking attributes.
