A Prompt is a character or character string marking
the beginning of an input field. Prompts are
generally associated with command-line interfaces and not
graphical user interfaces (GUIs). In GUIs, GUILabel is usually more appropriate.
Formatted inline. The MoreInfo attribute
can help generate a link or query to retrieve additional information.
Prompt was added in DocBook V3.0. It duplicates the
semantics of <systemitem class="prompt">.
The prompt attribute will be removed from
SystemItem in the future.
