I am pasting here the (solicited) feedback that we received from Garen Torikian on our committee note. I hope that we can discuss this on our call tomorrow.
Hi allâ
I'm so sorry for replying to this so late! I had intended
to take a look at the Lightweight DITA spec in December but Life got in
theÂway.Â
I don't have much by way of comments--I
think the MDITA spec aspect of it is great. I recall there was some
information about it, but I would like to hear (again) about the
technical choices for MDITA's representation of cross-formatting
(5.4.4). The inclusion of HTML in an otherwise entirely un-tag based
document confuses me a little. For example, if [product-name] is acceptable for an insertion, could something like:
[^power-offÂMake sure power to the fixture where you are installing the light bulb is turned OFF.]
or perhaps
^[power-off](Make sure power to the fixture where you are installing the light bulb is turned OFF.)
be an acceptable way for defining a conref?
Similarly, there's a difference between referencing a single term versus a paragraph. Why wouldn't the following work?
[low-power.html#low-power/disconnect-warning]
Thanks for the infoâ
