Re: [docbook] How to mark up inline program listings?

Tobias,

I would still consider that <screen>, not </programlisting>.
This is how it would be marked up at Sun:

<screen>
 spe142> <userinput>echo 'print "Hello world :)\\n"' > hw.rb</userinput>
 spe142> <userinput>cat hw.rb</userinput>
 print "Hello world :)\n"
 spe142> <userinput>ruby hw.rb</userinput>
 Hello world :)
 spe142>
</screen>

We would use <literal> for that case.
