A programlistingco is a wrapper around an areaspec and a programlisting. An areaspec identifies the locations (coordinates) in the programlisting where the callouts occur. The programlistingco may also contain the list of annotations in a calloutlist, although the calloutlist may also occur outside the wrapper, elsewhere in the document.

It is also possible to embed co elements directly in the verbatim text, in order to avoid having to calculate the correct coordinates. If you decided to go this route, use a programlisting and a calloutlist without the programlistingco wrapper. A programlistingco must specify at least one coordinate.

For a complete description of callouts, see callout.
