Hmm.
Tricky one.
Any plans afoot? I'd hazzard a guess that CSS is going to have trouble. I
don't grok Gecko/XUL so can't say whether it could cope...
Here's an example:
<example id="odbchelper.dict.del">
<title>Deleting Items from a Dictionary</title>
<screen><prompt>>>> </prompt><userinput>d</userinput>
<computeroutput>{'server': 'mpilgrim', 'uid': 'sa', 'database': 'master',
42: 'douglas', 'retrycount': 3}</computeroutput>
<prompt>>>> </prompt><userinput>del d[42]</userinput> <co
id="odbchelper.dict.4.1"/>
<prompt>>>> </prompt><userinput>d</userinput>
<computeroutput>{'server': 'mpilgrim', 'uid': 'sa', 'database': 'master',
'retrycount': 3}</computeroutput>
<prompt>>>> </prompt><userinput>d.clear()</userinput> <co
id="odbchelper.dict.4.2"/>
<prompt>>>> </prompt><userinput>d</userinput>
<computeroutput>{}</computeroutput></screen>
</example>
<calloutlist>
<callout arearefs="odbchelper.dict.4.1">
<para><function>del</function> lets you delete individual items from a
dictionary by key.</para>
</callout>
<callout arearefs="odbchelper.dict.4.2">
<para><function>clear</function> deletes all items from a dictionary. Note
that the set of empty curly braces signifies a dictionary without any
items.</para>
</callout>
</calloutlist>
