/ Holger Rauch <Holger.Rauch@heitec.de> was heard to say:
| This leads me to another question: What markup is appropriate
| for distinguishing between an environment variable and its value? (I'm
| simply talking about the difference between TOMCAT_HOME and $TOMCAT_HOME).
Oh, I probably use envar for both. That distinction isn't often important.
If it was, I'd just use a role attribute. Or maybe <literal role="envar">.
Or something.
Be seeing you,
