Subject: Authoring DTDs
This DITA OT plug-in contains the Tagsmiths authoring DTDs. TheseDTDs make heavy use of the DITA 1.2 constraints mechanism toremove element choices from various document contexts. The DTDscall in 32 constraints packages. simpleSectionConstraint.mod is anexample of one such constraint. When it is active, an author cannotsimply type text into a section. The author must first open aparagraph. Consequently, the number of elements an author canchoose from in section has been reduced from 63 to 32 becauseinline-level elements are no longer available as child elements forsection. Rest assured that text and each of the excluded inlineelements can still be entered under ia paragraph in section.This plugin has also refactored the shell DTDs from the DITAtechnical communications package (concept, glossterm, reference,task) so that the inclusion or exclusion of domain packages(highlights, hazardstatement, etc) is controlled throught singleparameter settings in a file named CommonSettings.ent. Changes inCommonSettings.ent propogate to each of the shell DTDs eliminatingthe need configure each shell DTD separately. Each constraintpackage can also be included or excluded from CommonSettings.ent.
