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, the SegmentedList is the table. In the list presentation, the SegmentedList surrounds the entire list of blocks of heading/element pairs.

Future Changes

In DocBook V4.0, at least two SegTitles will be required.

Children

The following elements occur in segmentedlist: seglistitem, segtitle, title, titleabbrev.
