<synph>

A syntax phrase is a small group of pieces of syntax.

The <synph> element is used when a complete syntax diagram is not needed, but some of the syntax elements, such as <kwd>, <oper>, or <delim> are used within the text flow of the topic content.

The <synph> element is specialized from <ph>. It is defined in the syntax-diagram domain module, which is a specialization of the programming domain module.
