Subject: [docbook] calloutlist element 
  question

  

  
To 
  whom it may concern,

  
 

  
I 
  am unclear of the <calloulist> element and it's function. I am 
  fairly new to docbook and xml, so I am not sure if this is something common to 
  programmers. Specifically, what is a "calloutlist", a "callout" and what is 
  the meaning of the "arearefs" attribute? 

  
 

  
The following definition for calloutlist was found at 
  the docbook.org site, but it is unclear to me: calloutlist: A 
  CalloutList 
  is a list of annotations or descriptions. Each Callout points 
  to the area on a Graphic, ProgramListing, 
  or Screen that 
  it augments. 

  
 

  
Here is an example in 
  code:

  
<chapter>

  
    <title>Example</title>

  
        
  <calloutlist>

  
            
  <callout arearefs=""></callout>

  
        
  </calloutlist>

  
</chapter>

  
 

  
Help would be much 
  appreciated.

  
Thanks.
