ScreenCO ::= (AreaSpec,Screen,CalloutList*)
Both the start- and end-tags are required for this element.
Callouts, such as numbered bullets, are an annotation mechanism. In an online system, these bullets are frequently "hot," and clicking on them navigates to the corresponding annotation.
A ScreenCO is a wrapper around an AreaSpec and a Screen. An AreaSpec identifies the locations (coordinates) in the Screen where the callouts occur. The ScreenCO may also contain the list of annotations in a CalloutList, although the CalloutList may also occur outside of the wrapper, elsewhere in the document.
It is also possible to embed CO elements directly in the verbatim text, in order to avoid the overhead of calculating the correct coordinates. If you decide to follow this route, use a Screen and a CalloutList without the ScreenCO wrapper. A ScreenCO must specify at least one coordinate.
For a complete description of callouts, see Callout.
Formatted as a displayed block. This element is displayed "verbatim"; whitespace and linebreaks within this element are significant.
The mandatory processing expectations of a ScreenCO are minimal: a system is expected to render the program listing and the callout list, if present.
If explicit CO elements are embedded in a Screen, they must generate appropriate callout marks.
In online environments, the processing system may be able to instantiate the linking relationships between the callout marks in the program listing and the annotations. Some systems may even be able to go a step further and generate the callout marks automatically from the coordinate information, but this level of sophistication is not mandatory.
These elements contain ScreenCO: Answer, Appendix, Article, BiblioDiv, Bibliography, BlockQuote, Callout, Caption, Caution, Chapter, Colophon, Dedication, entry, Example, Figure, Footnote, Glossary, GlossDef, GlossDiv, Important, Index, IndexDiv, InformalExample, InformalFigure, LegalNotice, ListItem, MsgExplan, MsgText, Note, Para, PartIntro, Preface, Procedure, QandADiv, QandASet, Question, RefSect1, RefSect2, RefSect3, RefSynopsisDiv, Sect1, Sect2, Sect3, Sect4, Sect5, Section, SetIndex, Sidebar, SimpleSect, Step, TextObject, Tip, Warning.
The following elements occur in ScreenCO: AreaSpec, CalloutList, Screen.
