    Technical documentation for a particular object or construct.

    The purpose of this element is to document system configuration and behavior. The documentation will not be presented to end users. In fact, it will probably not be presented at all in midPoint user interface. This documentation element is supposed to be a part of the technical documentation of midPoint deployment. The tools than generate deployment configuration will look for these elements and combine them to compiled documentation document.

    AsciiDoc formatting is assumed for this element. Any leading or trailing whitespace is skipped. Indentation equivalent to he indentation of the first non-blank line of text is also skipped.

  - #### strength

    Flags: RAM,runtime,AVals:2

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Strength of the construction defines how aggressively will the construction be applied. Strong constructions are applied all the time (relative changes, reconciliation, ...). Weak constructions are applied only if there is another strong construction.
