Example is a formal example with a title. Examples often contain ProgramListings or other large, block elements. Frequently they are given IDs and referenced from the text with XRef or Link.
Formatted as a displayed block. DocBook does not specify the location of the example within the final displayed flow of text; it may float or remain where it is located.
A list of examples may be generated at the beginning of a document.
These elements contain Example: Answer, Appendix, Article, BiblioDiv, Bibliography, BlockQuote, Callout, Caution, Chapter, Glossary, GlossDef, GlossDiv, Important, Index, ListItem, MsgExplan, MsgText, Note, Para, PartIntro, Preface, Procedure, QandADiv, QandASet, Question, RefSect1, RefSect2, RefSect3, RefSynopsisDiv, Sect1, Sect2, Sect3, Sect4, Sect5, Section, SetIndex, Sidebar, SimpleSect, Step, Tip, Warning.
The following elements occur in Example: Address, BlockQuote, CalloutList, CmdSynopsis, FormalPara, FuncSynopsis, GlossList, Graphic, GraphicCO, IndexTerm, InformalEquation, InformalExample, InformalFigure, InformalTable, ItemizedList, LiteralLayout, MediaObject, MediaObjectCO, OrderedList, Para, ProgramListing, ProgramListingCO, Screen, ScreenCO, ScreenShot, SegmentedList, SimPara, SimpleList, Synopsis, Title, TitleAbbrev, VariableList.
In some contexts, the following elements are allowed anywhere: BeginPage, IndexTerm.
In some contexts, the following elements are excluded: IndexTerm, InformalTable.
Label specifies an identifying string for presentation purposes.
Generally, an explicit Label attribute is used only if the processing system is incapable of generating the label automatically. If present, the Label is normative; it will used even if the processing system is capable of automatic labelling.
Width specifies the width (in characters) of the longest line in this Example (formatters may use this value to determine scaling or rotation).
