The groupseq element is part of the subset of elements that define syntax diagrams in DITA. A group is a logical set of pieces of syntax that go together. Within the syntax definition, groups of keywords, delimiters and other syntax units act as a combined unit, and they occur in a specific sequence, as delimited by the groupseq element. This element is part of the DITA programming domain, a special set of DITA elements designed to document programming tasks, concepts, and reference information.
