Only a few XHTML tags are required for writing the documentation in idl files. The most important ones are listed in this section.
Paragraph: <p> ... </p>
This tag marks a normal paragraph. Consider that line breaks and empty lines in the idl file do not cause a line break or a paragraph break in the layout version. Explicit paragraph break markups, are necessary.
Line Break: <br/>
This tag marks up a line break within the same paragraph. Consider line breaks and empty lines in the idl file do not cause a line break or a paragraph break when presented by the HTML browser. Explicit paragraph break markups are necessary.
Unordered List: <ul><li> ... </li>... </ul>
These tags mark the beginning and end of an unordered list, as list items.
Example:
<ul> <li>the first item </li> <li>the second item </li> <li>the third item </li> </ul>
results in a list similar to:
- the first item
- the second item
- the third item
Ordered List: <ol><li> ... </li>... </ol>
These tags mark the beginning and end of an ordered list, as list items.
Example:
<ol> <li>the first item </li> <li>the second item </li> <li>the third item </li> </ol>
results in a list similar to:
1.the first item
2.the second item
3.the third item
Definition List: <dl><dt> ... </dt><dd> ... </dd>... </dl>
These tags mark the beginning and end of a definition list, the definition tags and the definition data.
Example:
<dl> <dt>the first item</dt> <dd>asfd asdf asdf asdf asdf</dd> <dt>the second item</dt> <dd>asfd asdf asdf asdf asdf</dd> <dt>the third item</dt> <dd>asfd asdf asdf asdf asdf</dd> </dl>
results in a list similar to:
the first item
- asfd asdf asdf asdf asdf
the second item
- asfd asdf asdf asdf asdf
the third item
- asfd asdf asdf asdf asdf
Table: <table><tr><td>...</td>...</tr>...</table>
Defines a table with rows (tr) and columns (td).
Strong Emphasis: <strong> ... </strong>
These tags present a piece of text that is emphasized. In most cases this is bold, but the HTML-client defines what it actually is.
Slight Emphasis: <em> ... </em>
These tags present a piece of text emphasized slightly. In most cases this is italic, but the HTML-client defines what it actually is .
Anchor: <a href="..."> ... </a>
These tags specify a link to external documentation. The first "..." specifies the URL.
