DOCBOOK: Re: Replaceable Parameter Values

[Norman Walsh <ndw at nwalsh dot com>]

/ Holger Rauch <Holger.Rauch@heitec.de> was heard to say:
| What is the preferred way to mark up parameter values
| 
| 	<parameter><replaceable>value</replaceable></parameter>
| 
| or simply
| 
| 	<replaceable class="parameter">value</replaceable>
| 
| If the second form I suggested is good enough, the first one seems
| redundant to me.

Can you provide a little more context? Often, I think <parameter> implies
replaceable.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
