Re: How should we mark up nova-* services?

 

Thanks David for the guidance and Razique for knowing what our docs mostly
do. :) I'm fine with adding the <systemitem class="service"> markup and see
what it gains us later.

Does anyone prefer quotation marks around the service names or is there
another output style you'd like?

Thanks,
Anne
