<syntaxdiagram>
The <syntaxdiagram> element is the main container for all the
syntax elements that make up a syntax definition. The syntax diagram represents the
syntax of a
statement from a computer language or a command, function call, or programming language
statement. Traditionally, the syntax diagram is formatted with "railroad tracks" that
connect
the units of the syntax together, but the presentation might differ depending on the
output
media. This element
is part of the DITA programming domain, a special set of DITA elements
designed to document programming tasks, concepts, and reference information.
