  • 1.  Help adding @processing-role to XDITA map DTD

    Posted 02-06-2018 20:09
    Dear Lightweight DITA SC members, I need help with a couple of items related to adding @processing-role to topicref in XDITA. 1- @processing-role actually exists as an attribute of keydef in the XDITA map mod. It is a fixed att with value of 'resource-only.' We need to declare it for both elements now. 2- What values should @processing-role have as attribute of topicref? In 1.3 we have normal, resource-only, and -dita-use-conref-target. I assume that the conref target is a no-no value in XDITA, right? This is the only change missing before we can build the new package for TC vote next week... so I will appreciate anyhelp/volunteers to update the DTDs.  Best, Carlos --  Carlos Evia, Ph.D. Director of Professional and Technical Writing Associate Professor of Technical Communication Virginia Tech Blacksburg, VA 24061-0112 (540)200-8201

    I'll weigh in on the -dita-use-conref-target issue. While this attribute is essential for using <navtitle> from conref'ed topics, I think that is a defensible full DITA use case. So I'm fine with @processing-role values of normal and resource-only for topicref. Or ... do we only need resource-only , because the absence of @processing-role signals normal (default processing)? -Alan On 2/6/18 3:08 PM, Carlos Evia wrote: Dear Lightweight DITA SC members, I need help with a couple of items related to adding @processing-role to topicref in XDITA. 1- @processing-role actually exists as an attribute of keydef in the XDITA map mod.

    That makes a lot of sense and mirrors the current version of the attribute connected to keydef in the XDITA map...
