Ok, you can argue that <computeroutput> is useless in <screen> and I could agree with that (but then why is it allowed by the standard in the first place?). But the story is the same with <userinput> and this one is really useful to highlight the part of the screen that the user is supposed to type (it's rendered in bold while computeroutput is usually not, except that Publican overrides this...)! Here's one example where you might want to keep the linebreaks and the multiple spaces. <screen> $ <userinput>cat >crontab <<END # min hours day month dow command 0 19 * * * fetchmail END</userinput> $ <userinput>crontab crontab</userinput> </screen> Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Pre-order a copy of the Debian Administrator's Handbook and help liberate it: http://debian-handbook.info/go/ulule-rh/ _______________________________________________ publican-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/publican-list Wiki: https://fedorahosted.org/publican
