Attribute synopsis
Description
A segmentedlist consists of a set of headings
(segtitles) and a list of parallel sets of elements.
Every seglistitem contains a set of elements that
have a one-to-one correspondence with the headings. Each of these
elements is contained in a seg.
Processing expectations
Segmented lists can be formatted in a number of ways. Two
popular formats are tabular and as a list of repeated headings and
elements. In a tabular presentation, each seg is a
cell in the body of the table. In the list presentation, each
seg occurs next to the appropriate heading.
DocBook cannot detect errors caused by too many or too few
segs in a seglistitem. You will
have to rely on external processes to find those errors.
Examples
See segmentedlist for an example that uses this
element.
