2: Highlight seems more widely usable [1]

Cheers, Jeff.

[1] http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/highlights.html

Would different text formatting for <highlights> be doable ? I want to ensure that people recognize it as a distinct and complete entity from the rest of the text.
Just about anything is doable with a good suggestion for how and some cider!


<highlight> definitely seems better for what Darrin's describing.

As for markup, I'd suggest indenting on both sides and maybe a border around it, or a light-coloured background, or both. (example of "both" attached)

You will note your example is an excellent example of my point about poorly titled chapters/sections ... is this deliberate?

I looked at a few of the books I have here, and the few that have this kind of introductory text, none of the better ones do, none mark it up differently that the rest of the body text.

Wish we had and experienced editor to chime in here.

Cheers, Jeff.
