## NAME

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

## NOTE

When creating SGML IDS, we append -CAPS to all all-caps  identifiers to prevent name clashes. (It basically never is the case  that mixed-case identifiers would collide.) See the CreateValidSGMLID  function.

## EXAMPLE

See /usr/share/doc/gtk-doc-tools/examples, for a makefile.am and a  configure.in example file.
