Re: Re: Replaceable Parameter Values


Hi Norm!

Thanks for your quick reply!

Sure. Please see my two examples given below.

I had the impression that <parameter> is supposed to be used inside
<userinput> for a value that's supposed to be specified as given
(e.g. for a <command>).

So, as I already mentioned, I'm using that inside <userinput>, like this

<userinput><prompt>hrauch@prag:~$ </prompt>export
	  <envar>ANT_HOME</envar>=<filename
	    class="directory"><replaceable 
class="parameter">base_dir</replaceable>/jakarta-ant-<replaceable
class="parameter">version</replaceable></filename></userinput>

or

<screen>
  <prompt>hrauch@prag:~/empic$ </prompt>
  <userinput><command>cvs</command> rtag
  <parameter><replaceable>tag_name</replaceable></parameter>
  <parameter><replaceable>module_name</replaceable></parameter></userinput>
</screen>

(Please excuse the ugly formatting. It happened during cutting & pasting.)

Thanks for your help!

Greetings,

	Holger
