Common attributes and common linking attributes.
An error code. Error codes are often numeric, but in some environments they may be symbolic constants.
DocBook provides four elements for identifying the parts of an error message: ErrorCode, for the alphanumeric error code (e.g., “-2”); ErrorName, for the symbolic name of the error (e.g., “ENOENT”); ErrorText, for the text of the error message (e.g., “file not found”); and ErrorType, for the error type (e.g., “recoverable”).
Formatted inline. The MoreInfo attribute can help generate a link or query to retrieve additional information.
These elements contain errorcode: action, application, attribution, bibliomisc, bridgehead, citation, citetitle, classsynopsisinfo, code, command, computeroutput, database, emphasis, entry, filename, firstterm, foreignphrase, funcparams, funcsynopsisinfo, function, glosssee, glossseealso, glossterm, hardware, interfacename, keycap, lineannotation, link, literal, literallayout, lotentry, member, msgaud, olink, option, optional, para, parameter, phrase, primary, primaryie, productname, programlisting, property, quote, refdescriptor, refentrytitle, refname, refpurpose, remark, screen, screeninfo, secondary, secondaryie, see, seealso, seealsoie, seeie, seg, segtitle, simpara, subtitle, synopsis, systemitem, td, term, tertiary, tertiaryie, th, title, titleabbrev, tocback, tocentry, tocfront, trademark, ulink, userinput.
