/ Joachim Ziegler <ziegler@mpi-sb.mpg.de> was heard to say:
| How do I markup an operator like "++"?
|
| Is something like
|
| "The operator <function>++</function> increments its operand."
|
| ok? (Every operator can be seen as a function.)
That seems reasonable to me. I might use <function role="operator">,
if I was being really precise.
Be seeing you,
