Re: Replaceable Parameter Values
/ 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,
