Thoughts by Kimber (Kimber, 21 July 2024) https://groups.oasis-open.org/discussion/dita-comment-question-about-ditaval-passthrough
- Robert; Eliot offers 2 possibilities; I agree with Eliot on only even values being passed thru.
- Kris; in his mail, Chris was asking a 2-part question;
1) is what's passed thru only the even value?
2) what is filtered out?
I would expect that passthrough values would be passed thru, but would they then be excluded from output?
- Robert; I don't understand your question. Suppose "audience" can be A1 or A2, I would expect that there's some indication that it only used A2, but not A1, unless A1 also said pasthrough. So, even if it's included, it still wouldn't be passed through. Wrt the second part, how they should show up, I don't think TC should have any guidance on this, so agree with Eliot that it's totally implementation-dependent.
- Kris; do we want to include any HTML5 suggestions?
- Robert; no, we should not.
- Kris; Mayo is planning to use passthrough for just these purposes, to enable filtering by end-user...
