Re: [docbook] How to mark up inline program listings?

Believe me, it's a complete program, and I need to mark it up as such.

I speculate that the reason there's no element for inline program
listings is maybe that "program listing' implies multi-line block
content of program source code -- something different that a string
that you're instructing a user to input/enter.
So how do I markup inline code in DocBook?
It's no problem for me if the name does not include "programlisting". It
could be named "code", "inlinecode", "inlineprogram", or etc.
XHTML offers the element named "code"
<p>To print out "hello world",
save the program <code>print "Hello world :)\n"</code>, and
feed it to Ruby.</p>
... which fulfills my requirements. I need to do the same in DocBook.
