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 line breaks
within this element are significant. The content of a
screen
element is usually displayed in a
fixed-width font.
Common attributes and common linking attributes.
Determines whether line numbering continues from the previous element or restarts.
Enumerated values: | |
---|---|
“continues” | Line numbering continues from the immediately preceding element with the same name. |
“restarts” | Line numbering restarts (begins at 1, usually). |
Identifies the language (i.e., programming language) of the verbatim content.
Determines whether lines are numbered.
Enumerated values: | |
---|---|
“numbered” | Lines are numbered. |
“unnumbered” | Lines are not numbered. |
Specifies the initial line number.
Specifies the width (in characters) of the element.
Can be used to indicate explicitly that whitespace in the verbatim environment is preserved. Whitespace must always be preserved in verbatim environments whether this attribute is specified or not.
Enumerated values: | |
