* GInitiallyUnowned is derived from GObject. The only difference between
* the two is that the initial reference of a GInitiallyUnowned is flagged
- * as a <firstterm>floating</firstterm> reference.
- * This means that it is not specifically claimed to be "owned" by
- * any code portion. The main motivation for providing floating references is
- * C convenience. In particular, it allows code to be written as:

* references, container_add_child() can only g_object_ref() the new child,
* so to implement this code without reference leaks, it would have to be
* written as:
- * |[
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
* Child *child;
* container = create_container ();
* child = create_child ();
* across certain code portions (an example is #GtkMenu), to achieve this,
* the following sequence can be used:
*
- * |[
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
* /* save floating state */
* gboolean was_floating = g_object_is_floating (object);
* g_object_ref_sink (object);
* This signal is typically used to obtain change notification for a
* single property, by specifying the property name as a detail in the
* g_signal_connect() call, like this:
- * |[
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
* g_signal_connect (text_view->buffer, "notify::paste-target-list",
* G_CALLBACK (gtk_text_view_target_list_notify),
* text_view)
* #GParamSpecs and g_object_notify_by_pspec(). For instance, this
* class initialization:
*
- * |[
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
* enum {
* PROP_0, PROP_FOO, PROP_BAR, N_PROPERTIES
* };
*
* allows calling g_object_notify_by_pspec() to notify of property changes:
*
- * |[
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
* void
* my_object_set_foo (MyObject *self, gint foo)
* {
* @name: the name of a property registered in a parent class or
* in an interface of this class.
*
- * Registers @property_id as referring to a property with the
- * name @name in a parent class or in an interface implemented
- * by @oclass. This allows this class to <firstterm>override</firstterm>
- * a property implementation in a parent class or to provide
- * the implementation of a property from an interface.

+ * @name in a parent class or in an interface implemented by @oclass.
+ * This allows this class to "override" a property implementation in
+ * a parent class or to provide the implementation of a property from
+ * an interface.
*
* Internally, overriding is implemented by creating a property of type
* #GParamSpecOverride; generally operations that query the properties of
* instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with
* g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:
*
- *|[
+ *|[<!-- language="C" -->
* enum
* {
* PROP_0,
*
* and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:
*
- * |[
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
* g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
* ]|
*
*
* Here is an example of using g_object_get() to get the contents
* of three properties: an integer, a string and an object:
- * |[
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
* gint intval;
* gchar *strval;
* GObject *objval;
* - swapped_signal_after, swapped-signal-after: equivalent to g_signal_connect_data (..., NULL, G_CONNECT_SWAPPED | G_CONNECT_AFTER)
* - swapped_object_signal_after, swapped-object-signal-after: equivalent to g_signal_connect_object (..., G_CONNECT_SWAPPED | G_CONNECT_AFTER)
*
- * |[
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
* menu->toplevel = g_object_connect (g_object_new (GTK_TYPE_WINDOW,
* "type", GTK_WINDOW_POPUP,
* "child", menu,
* to the proxy object, but when there are other references held to
* @object, a strong reference is held. The @notify callback is called
* when the reference from @object to the proxy object should be
- * <firstterm>toggled</firstterm> from strong to weak (@is_last_ref
- * true) or weak to strong (@is_last_ref false).
+ * "toggled" from strong to weak (@is_last_ref true) or weak to strong
+ * (@is_last_ref false).
*
* Since a (normal) reference must be held to the object before
* calling g_object_add_toggle_ref(), the initial state of the reverse
* set).
* Usually, calling this function is only required to update
* user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
- * |[
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
* void
* object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
* const gchar *new_string)
