    3. Proposal for Changing the Name of outputclass in DITAVAL

    • Background:
      • Robert Anderson, 30 May 2025
      • Robert Anderson provided an overview of the proposal to change the name of the outputclass attribute to add-outputclass in DITAVAL.
      • The current outputclass attribute in DITAVAL has caused confusion from many users, as it was intended to add a flagging behavior rather than match existing outputclass values in DITA source.
    • Proposal Details:
      • The new name, add-outputclass, aims to make the behavior clearer.
      • The change involves minimal updates to the DITA 2.0 draft and aligns with the need for additional documentation in the DITAVAL architectural specification.
    • Consensus:
      • The team reached consensus during the meeting today to proceed with the name change.
      • Robert formalized the proposal to move forward with this change.

    4. Examples for Conditional Processing

    • Update:
      • Dawn will provide examples for filtering using group syntax.
