  • 1.  DITA Ref Feature Request: Alphabetic bookmark tree

    Posted 01-22-2007 17:44
    I've started on a project for a client where I'm doing heavy 
    specialization. As such I am spending a lot of time in the DITA 
    reference. I'm finding that the current topical organization is not very 
    helpful for finding things (that is, using the document for reference 
    rather than for understanding).
    
    In addition to, or as a less expensive alternative to, it occurs to me 
    that just generating an additional set of bookmarks that list the 
    element types alphabetically would largely satisfy the reference 
    navigation requirement--in fact I think I'd like whether or not an 
    alphabetical quick reference could be generated. That's because it's 
    still useful to have the descriptions of the different elements 
    presented in their topical context.
    
    Cheers,
