Subject: Re: [dita-comment] Does the specs allow making conrefs from topics to maps?
Radu -- It is perfectly appropriate to
conref from a task to topic. Or a title from a map into a topic
(or vice versa).
The statement that you quoted from the 1.2 spec -- "When pulling content with the conref mechanism – if the referenced element is the same type as the referencing element, and the list of domains declared on the domains attribute in the referenced topic or map instance is the same as or a subset of the list of domains declared in the referencing document, the element set allowed in the referenced element is guaranteed to be the same as, or a subset of, the element set allowed in the referencing element." -- was not intended to be the whole story. That is, the content of the sentence is perfectly true -- but it should NOT be read to mean that the domains on the referenced element must be the same or a subset of the domains on the referencing element. If they are the same, super; if not, processors SHOULD generalize. The sentence that followed this content in the 1.2 spec was " A processor resolving a conref should tolerate specializations of valid elements and should generalize elements in the pulled content fragment as needed for the referencing context." I'll talk with Robert Anderson about whether we need to modify the 1.3 draft spec to make this clearer. Best,
