The font property element is "composite" element: unlike majority of

One of "normal", "italic" or "slant" (default: normal).}
@row3col{weight, enum,

@row3col{sysfont, ,
Symbolic name of system standard font(one of wxSYS_*_FONT constants).}

+@subsubsection xrc_wxauinotebook wxAuiNotebook
+
+A wxAuiNotebook can have one or more child objects of the @c notebookpage
+pseudo-class.
