  • 1.  Chunking topic in the specification

    Posted 09-21-2009 01:44 
    Hi,

I was editing the chunking topic in the Architectural specification this
evening, based on review comments posted to the wiki. One of the comments
from Eliot is this:
>> "Topicheads and [implicit] title-only topics": this topic is I think
covered sufficiently in the main discussion of the chunk attribute under
the entries for to-content and to-navigation.

There is a section in that topic with this title, but the contents are
empty. Well - not quite - they've been replaced with a processing
instruction:

    

    

Does anybody know what this PI means? To the naive reader (me), it looks
like some sort of stand-in for conref?

    It looks like an XMetal change tracking PI to me.

Cheers,

    It looks like a placeholder for a paragraph that was to be written.

In XMetaL,  is displayed as Some Text
Here, then when the user clicks anywhere in that text the whole of it is
highlighted, and when the user types anything the whole of it is
replaced by whatever the user types. 

I've only used these in creating templates for users.

    That makes sense - I see now that it was a new section with content that
was expected to be added (I was originally thinking it was an existing
section with content to be pulled from someplace else).

Thanks for the input - I'll be cleaning up the topic a bit this week.
