Either you do not in fact understand the concept, or you're being
willfully facetious.
The standard DocBook stylesheets will bold any text between <command>
tags, but the tag doesn't *mean* "make this text bold". The tag says
that the text inside it is a computer command of some sort, and bold is
a common typographic convention for computer commands in books. If you
don't like that style, you can redefine it with a custom stylesheet.
If the only semantic meaning you are trying to get across is "this bit
of text is bold" then DocBook may not be for you.
The mediaobject in question is an image file (PNG, 8.5in X 11in, 300
The difference between them might be clearer to you if you try it with a
20x20 pixel PNG file instead. When inlined, the PNG file will sit in
the same line of text, just as this X is in this line of text. With the
other tag, it gets broken out into its own "paragraph", as you'd use for
a separate illustration.
mediaobjects are certainly displayed "inline".
You're misunderstanding the meaning of that term. It has a very
specific meaning in DocBook, which it shares with HTML/CSS: it means "in
the same line of text" where the tags appear. But, it's hard to see
that distinction when you're using graphics the size of an entire page.
