All We'd like to use the Change Tracking module in Ocelot to build an audit trail of modifications to <target/>s but we've hit the limitation that <item/> only supports text - no markup.

Hi Phil, I think this is an oversight. It would be very cumbersome / impossible to express changes in content using inline tags without allowing them in the <item> element of the ctr module. Sounds like something we should fix for 2.1 I have a distant feeling that this was already discussed but I see that the schema and specification did not change with respect to this. It should be added to the agenda for the next TC call and discussed there. So the answer is "c" and discuss it at the next call ;) Regards, Fredrik Estreen -----Original Message----- From: xliff@lists.oasis-open.org [ mailto:xliff@lists.oasis-open.org ] On Behalf Of Mr. Phil Ritchie Sent: den 23 augusti 2015 15:01 To: xliff@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [xliff] Change Tracking All We'd like to use the Change Tracking module in Ocelot to build an audit trail of modifications to <target/>s but we've hit the limitation that <item/> only supports text - no markup.
