               A Screen is a verbatim environment for displaying text that
               the user might see on a computer terminal.  It is often used to display
               the results of a command.
               
            
               Having less specific semantic overtones, Screen is
               often used wherever a verbatim presentation is desired, but the
               semantic of ProgramListing is inappropriate.
               
            
                  This element is displayed “verbatim”;
                  whitespace and linebreaks within this element are significant. Screens are usually
                  displayed in a fixed width font.
                  
               
                  
                  The InterfaceDefinition
                  element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available
                  in the content model of this element.
                  
               
These elements contain screen:
                  answer, appendix, article, bibliodiv, bibliography, blockquote, callout, caption, caution, chapter, colophon, constraintdef, dedication, entry, example, figure, footnote, glossary, glossdef, glossdiv, important, index, indexdiv, informalexample, informalfigure, itemizedlist, legalnotice, listitem, msgexplan, msgtext, note, orderedlist, para, partintro, preface, procedure, qandadiv, qandaset, question, refsect1, refsect2, refsect3, refsection, refsynopsisdiv, revdescription, screenco, sect1, sect2, sect3, sect4, sect5, section, setindex, sidebar, simplesect, step, taskprerequisites, taskrelated, tasksummary, td, textobject, th, tip, variablelist, warning.
               
The following elements occur in screen:
                  abbrev, acronym, action, anchor, application, author, authorinitials, beginpage, biblioref, citation, citebiblioid, citerefentry, citetitle, classname, classsynopsis, cmdsynopsis, co, code, command, computeroutput, constant, constructorsynopsis, coref, corpauthor, corpcredit, database, destructorsynopsis, email, emphasis, envar, errorcode, errorname, errortext, errortype, exceptionname, fieldsynopsis, filename, firstterm, footnote, footnoteref, foreignphrase, funcsynopsis, function, glossterm, guibutton, guiicon, guilabel, guimenu, guimenuitem, guisubmenu, hardware, indexterm, inlineequation, inlinegraphic, inlinemediaobject, interface, interfacename, keycap, keycode, keycombo, keysym, lineannotation, link, literal, markup, medialabel, menuchoice, methodname, methodsynopsis, modespec, mousebutton, nonterminal, olink, ooclass, ooexception, oointerface, option, optional, orgname, othercredit, package, parameter, personname, phrase, productname, productnumber, prompt, property, quote, remark, replaceable, returnvalue, revhistory, sgmltag, structfield, structname, subscript, superscript, symbol, synopsis, systemitem, termdef, textobject, token, trademark, type, ulink, uri, userinput, varname, wordasword, xref.
               
                        The Format attribute applies the 
                        linespecific notation to all Screens.
                        All white space and line breaks must be preserved.
                        
                     
Line numbering indicates whether or not the lines
                        of a Screen are to be automatically numbered. The details
                        of numbering (every line or only selected lines, on the left or right, etc.)
                        are left up to the processing application. Be aware that not all processors
                        are capable of numbering lines.
                     
                        Width specifies the width (in characters)
                        of the longest line in this Screen (formatters may use
                        this value to determine scaling or rotation).
