ScreenThe <screen> element contains or refers
to a textual representation of a computer screen or user interface panel (window).
Use <screen> to contain representations
of text-based online panels, text consoles ("term" or "curses" windows, for
example), or other text-based user interface components. The default print
representation is to enclose the screen within a box, suggesting a computer
display screen. In contrast to graphical screen captures normally used to
represent GUI parts (see the image element
description), this element specifically supports constructions for which text
is the primary content.
This element is part of the DITA programming
domain, a special set of DITA elements designed to document programming tasks,
concepts and reference information.
