Re: [docbook-apps] ooclass

Hi Mauritz,
Yes, for Java I suppose it would be a dot in a synopsis.  For the other 
language modes?

That oddity is a bug, I think.  The ooclass element has been in the 
%tech.char.class; parameter entity for some time, so it permitted inline. 
When I put one in a para, the stylesheet reports that no template matches. 
So there should be a template with no mode to handle it in such cases.
