Actually it uses "" eg "nova-volume" is...
I think 90% of the doc uses that convention. But it could be great to have a convention for it yes :)

You probably want:

<systemitem class="service">

http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/systemitem.html

The things to think about in deciding whether to mark something like
this up are:

1) Do I want to be able to have this thing formatted in a particular
way? E.g. monospace, bold.
2) Do I want to be able to do something else later (index, cross
reference, etc) with this term?

If either are true, then you should have a policy of marking it up and
agree on a tag to use.

Typing <systemitem class="service"> probably seems cumbersome, but I
can add to oxygen a shortcut so that it feels like there's really a
<service> tag. I.e. you press enter to pull up the context completion
window, start typing "systemitem"...it autocompletes and you pick
"systemitem-service" from thei list. Or we could even add a service
tag to the schema.

Hey Razique:


No, I was thinking specifically when the user *doesn't* have to
type it. For example, this sentence involving nova-volume: "The
nova-volume service is responsible for managing attachable block
storage devices".

05:04 Hi folks:

What tag should we use for marking up Linux service names like
nova-api and nova-network? Should we use <command>, or
<literal>, or something else?
