WordAsWord ::= ((#PCDATA|Acronym|Emphasis|Trademark|Link|OLink|ULink|Anchor| Comment|Subscript|Superscript|InlineGraphic|InlineMediaObject| IndexTerm)+)
Both the start- and end-tags are required for this element.
A lot of technical documentation contains words that have overloaded meanings. Sometimes it is useful to be able to use a word without invoking its technical meaning. The WordAsWord element identifies a word or phrase that might otherwise be interpreted in some specific way, and asserts that it should be interpreted simply as a word.
It is unlikely that the presentation of this element will be able to help readers understand the variation in meaning; good writing will have to achieve that goal. The real value of WordAsWord lies in the fact that full-text searching and indexing tools can use it to avoid false-positives.
