A Literal is some specific piece of data, taken literally, from a computer system. It is similar in some ways to UserInput and ComputerOutput, but is somewhat more of a general classification. The sorts of things that constitute literals varies by domain.
Formatted inline. A literal is frequently distinguished typographically and Literal is often used wherever that typographic presentation is desired.
The MoreInfo attribute can help generate a link or query to retrieve additional information.
The content model of Literal will be constrained to (#PCDATA | Replaceable | InlineGraphic) in DocBook V4.0.
These elements contain literal: attribution, bibliomisc, citetitle, command, computeroutput, emphasis, entry, lineannotation, link, literal, literallayout, para, phrase, programlisting, quote, subtitle, term, title, titleabbrev, trademark, ulink, userinput.
The following elements occur in literal: command, computeroutput, email, filename, inlinemediaobject, link, literal, option, replaceable, systemitem, ulink, userinput.
If MoreInfo is set to RefEntry, it implies that a RefEntry exists which further describes the Literal.
