A lot of technical documentation contains words that have overloaded meanings. Sometimes it is useful to be able to use a word without invoking its technical meaning. The WordAsWord element identifies a word or phrase that might otherwise be interpreted in some specific way, and asserts that it should be interpreted simply as a word.
It is unlikely that the presentation of this element will be able to help readers understand the variation in meaning; good writing will have to achieve that goal. The real value of WordAsWord lies in the fact that full-text searching and indexing tools can use it to avoid false-positives.
These elements contain wordasword: application, attribution, bibliomisc, bridgehead, citation, citetitle, emphasis, entry, foreignphrase, glosssee, glossseealso, glossterm, lineannotation, link, literallayout, lotentry, member, msgaud, olink, para, phrase, primary, primaryie, productname, programlisting, quote, refentrytitle, refpurpose, remark, screen, screeninfo, secondary, secondaryie, see, seealso, seealsoie, seeie, seg, segtitle, simpara, subtitle, synopsis, term, tertiary, tertiaryie, title, titleabbrev, tocback, tocentry, tocfront, ulink.
The following elements occur in wordasword: acronym, anchor, beginpage, emphasis, indexterm, inlinegraphic, inlinemediaobject, link, olink, remark, subscript, superscript, trademark, ulink.
