+ </header>
+
+ <p>Block tags typically define a separate block of information, such
+ as a paragraph or a list.</p>
+
+ <p>The following subset of block tags are common for all DTDs in
+ the DocBuilder DTD suite:
+ <marker id="block_subset"></marker>
+ <seealso marker="#pTAG">&lt;p&gt;</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#preTAG">&lt;pre&gt;</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#codeTAG">&lt;code&gt;</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#listTAG">&lt;list&gt;</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#taglistTAG">&lt;taglist&gt;</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#codeincludeTAG">&lt;codeinclude&gt;</seealso> and
+ <seealso marker="#erlevalTAG">&lt;erleval&gt;</seealso>.
+ </p>
+
+ <section>
+ <marker id="brTAG"></marker>
+ <title>&lt;br&gt; - Line Break</title>
+
+ <p>Forces a newline. Example:</p>
+ <pre>
+Eat yourself&lt;br/&gt;senseless!
+ </pre>
+ <p>results in:</p>
+ <p>Eat yourself<br/>senseless!</p>
+
+ <p>The <c><![CDATA[<br>]]></c> tag is both a block- and an inline
+ tag.</p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <marker id="codeTAG"></marker>
+ <title>&lt;code&gt; - Code Example</title>
+
+ <p>Highlight code examples. Example:</p>
+ <pre>
+&lt;code>
+sum([H|T]) ->
+ H + sum(T);
+sum([]) ->
+ 0.
+&lt;/code>
+ </pre>
+ <p>results in:</p>
+ <code>
+sum([H|T]) ->
+ H + sum(T);
+sum([]) ->
+ 0.
+ </code>
+
+ <p>There is an attribute <c>type = "erl" | "c" | "none"</c>, but
+ currently this attribute is ignored by DocBuilder. Default value
+ is <c>"none"</c></p>
+
+ <note>
+ <p>No tags are allowed within the tag and no
+ <seealso marker="character_entities">character
+ entities</seealso> are expanded.</p>
+ </note>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <marker id="codeincludeTAG"></marker>
+ <title>&lt;codeinclude&gt; - Code Inclusion</title>
+
+ <p>Include external code snippets. The attribute <c>file</c>
+ gives the file name and <c>tag</c> defines a string which
+ delimits the code snippet. Example:</p>
+ <pre>
+&lt;codeinclude file="gazonk" tag="%% Erlang example"/&gt;
+ </pre>
+ <p>results in:</p>
+ <codeinclude file="gazonk" tag="%% Erlang example"/>
+
+ <p>provided there is a file named <c>gazonk</c> looking like this:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+...
+
+%% Erlang example
+-module(gazonk).
+
+start() ->
+ {error,"Pid required!"}.
+start(Pid) ->
+ spawn(fun() -> init(Pid) end).
+%% Erlang example
+
+...
+ </code>
+
+ <p>If the <c>tag</c> attribute is omitted, the whole file is
+ included.</p>
+
+ <p>There is also an attribute <c>type = "erl" | "c" | "none"</c>, but
+ currently this attribute is ignored by DocBuilder. Default value
+ is <c>"none"</c></p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <marker id="erlevalTAG"></marker>
+ <title>&lt;erleval&gt; - Erlang Evaluation</title>
+
+ <p>Include the result from evaluating an Erlang expression. Example:
+ </p>
+ <code><![CDATA[
+<erleval expr="{A,b,C}={a,b,c}. "/>
+ ]]></code>
+ <p>results in:</p>
+ <erleval expr="{A,b,C}={a,b,c}. "></erleval>
+
+ <p>Note the '.' and space after the expression.</p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <marker id="listTAG"></marker>
+ <title>&lt;list&gt; - List</title>
+
+ <p>The attribute <c>type = "ordered"|"bulleted"</c> decides if
+ the list is numbered or bulleted. Default is <c>"bulleted"</c>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>Lists contains list items, tag <c><![CDATA[<item>]]></c>, which
+ can contain plain text,
+ the <seealso marker="#block_subset">common subset of block
+ tags</seealso> and <seealso marker="inline_tags">inline
+ tags</seealso>. Example:</p>
+ <pre>
+&lt;list type="ordered"&gt;
+ &lt;item&gt;Askosal:
+ &lt;list&gt;
+ &lt;item&gt;Nullalisis&lt;/item>
+ &lt;item&gt;Facilisis&lt;/item>
+ &lt;/list&gt;
+ &lt;/item>
+ &lt;item&gt;Ankara&lt;/item>
+&lt;/list&gt;
+ </pre>
+ <p>results in:</p>
+ <list type="ordered">

+ <marker id="pTAG"></marker>
