A Screen
is a verbatim environment for displaying text that
the user might see on a computer terminal. It is often used to display
the results of a command.
Having less specific semantic overtones, Screen
is
often used wherever a verbatim presentation is desired, but the
semantic of ProgramListing
is inappropriate.
This element is displayed “verbatim”;
whitespace and linebreaks within this element are significant. Screen
s are usually
displayed in a fixed width font.
The InterfaceDefinition
element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available
in the content model of this element.

The Format
attribute applies the
linespecific
notation to all Screen
s.
All white space and line breaks must be preserved.
Line numbering indicates whether or not the lines
of a Screen
are to be automatically numbered. The details
of numbering (every line or only selected lines, on the left or right, etc.)
are left up to the processing application. Be aware that not all processors
are capable of numbering lines.
Width
specifies the width (in characters)
of the longest line in this Screen
(formatters may use
this value to determine scaling or rotation).
