| Tag Name | Description
|
| Head1 | This is the major header tag and is used for chapter titles.
|
| Head2 | This is the mid-level header tag used for section headings.
|
| Head3 | This is the next level header used for subsection headings.
|
| Head3A | This is the same as Head3 but indents the paragraph further
in the table of contents.
|
| Head4, Head5 | These are used for lower level headings, for example,
example headings.
|
| Body Text | This is the default tag for any paragraph which is not otherwise
tagged.
|
| Fixed Text | This tag is used for paragraphs which should not be formatted
by the DOSBook display program. Its primary use is for computer input/output
messages.
|
| Bullet | When points are being listed, it is useful to place a bullet at the
start of each block of text and have the text indented. This tag is used
for that purpose. Text is indented after the bullet in the same way as
the Indent tag.
|
| Indent | Indents text from the left without a bullet.
|
| Pre-Indent | Outdents text to the left. The compiler expects an Indent tag
to follow a Pre-Indent.
|
| Table Header | Provides a heading for tables which have titles.
|
| Table Desc | Provides a subsidiary header for a table, with head text
above each column. This tag separates text which contains a Tab into two
parts, one over each column in a table.
|
| Table Item | Use this tag for text in a table, and separate columns
of text using the tabs if necessary.
|
| Prompt | Some fixed text has a special format: a specific drive letter
followed by a command. The two tags Prompt and Command allow for this. Text
in a prompt paragraph is not terminated by a new line and the compiler expects a
Command paragraph to follow it.
|
| Command | Formats text in a command, indenting it to the left.
|
| New Page | Forces a new page. No text should be present in such a
paragraph. These are ignored by the DOSBook display program but allow the user
to split text between pages to make the text easier to read.
|
| Line Under | This tag results in a line being drawn across the width
of the screen. There should not be any text associated with this tag. Use
this tag after the last line of text in a table, for example.
