This file is a DocBook file which contains <phrase> elements, each
<phrase> element having a different id attribute, which acts as the name
of the `XML variable''.

We generally layout such <phrase> elements in tables because it makes it
easy to document the `XML variables''.

Example (file attached to this email):

---
<informaltable>
  <tgroup cols="3">
    <thead>
      <row>
        <entry align="center">Variable</entry>

        <entry align="center">Name</entry>

        <entry align="center">Definition</entry>
      </row>
    </thead>

    <tbody>
      <row>
        <entry><phrase id="company">LeBlanc Engineering</phrase></entry>

        <entry><varname>company</varname></entry>

        <entry>The name of my company.</entry>
      </row>

      <row>
        <entry><phrase id="copyright">Copyright © 2010 LeBlanc
        Engineering. <emphasis role="bold">All rights
        reserved</emphasis>.</phrase></entry>

        <entry><varname>copyright</varname></entry>

        <entry>My copyright.</entry>
      </row>
    </tbody>
  </tgroup>
</informaltable>
