Description

The ClassName tag is used to identify the name of a class. This is likely to occur only in documentation about object-oriented programming systems, languages, and architectures.

DocBook does not contain a complete set of inlines appropriate for describing object-oriented programming environments. (While it has ClassName, for example, it has nothing suitable for methods.) This will be addressed in a future version of DocBook.
