# `<synph>`

The `<synph>` (syntax phrase) element is a container for syntax definition elements. It 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. This element is part of the DITA programming domain, a special set of DITA elements designed to document programming tasks, concepts, and reference information.
