In the apiClassifier topic type, you can create a New Document Type by clicking
from the Epic Editor menu for creating and publishing API classifier documentation.The following example shows an <apiClassifier> element used for an Visual Basic interface:
<apiClassifier id="rational.xde" outputclass="statement" platform="vb"> <apiName>TestImplements</apiName> <shortdesc>Specifies one or more interfaces or interface members.</shortdesc> <apiClassifierDetail> <apiSyntax platform="vb"> <apiSyntaxText>Implements <apiItemName>IRXEAbstraction</apiItemName> <apiItemName>TestImplements</apiItemName>[name, …]<apiRelation </apiSyntaxText> <apiSyntaxItem> <apiItemName>IRXEAbstraction</apiItemName> <apiDefNote>Required. An interface whose properties, methods, and events will be implemented by corresponding members in the class or structure.</apiDefNote> </apiSyntaxItem> <apiSyntaxItem> <apiItemName>TestImplements</apiItemName> <apiDefNote>Required. The member of an interface that is being implemented.</apiDefNote> </apiSyntaxItem> <apiSyntaxItem id="nameParam"> <apiItemName>name</apiItemName> <apiDefNote>The name for the created interface member.</apiDefNote> </apiSyntaxItem> </apiSyntax> <apiDesc>An interface is a collection of prototypes representing the members (properties, methods and events) the interface encapsulates.</apiDesc> </apiClassifier>
