"in-line" vs. "inline"

The article seems inconsistent in the usage. Is there any diference between the two? Is 'inline' an adjective and 'in-line' a verb? I'll clean it up if I find out the rule.

They seem to be used interchangably. In certain contexts, such as "inline function", one spelling tends to prevail. The "in-line" spelling is somewhat older and more traditional. Most of the time "inline" is fine and understandable in just about any place. I don't know any hard and fast rule, and I don't think the part-of-speech one is true. Maybe someone else can shed more light on it. Derrick Coetzee 21:46, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)
