  • 1.  Attributes for topicrefs that use @keyref

    Posted 07-28-2010 11:07 
    










    


    The section “2.1.3.4.3.3 Processing key
references”, mentions:
    


    


                   
“The attributes that are common to a key definition element and a key
reference element using that key, other than the @keys and @id attributes, are
combined as for content references, including……..”
    


    


    As I understand, I see concerns for other attributes that
will get combined/derived. Like if @href is derived from the key defining
element, then the fallback target of the topicref shall be lost… or in
other words the @href mentioned in key defining element shall get used as the
fallback in all the topicrefs referring to that key.

    Hi Tarun,

The href behavior you are describing is correct. The @href value is only a
fallback value for instances where the key does not resolve; if the key
resolves, then the original @href value is never used. That is the primary
purpose of the keyref function.

Are there other attributes that cause concern?

    Hi Robert,

Thanks a lot for explaining.

Also, what about the @keyref, @conkeyref and @class ?
I think these shouldn't be combined.
