Subject: Re: [dita] Groups - DITA 1.2 proposal 12039 Note as first element in step(IssueNumber12039.html) uploaded
Hi Chris - just to add one more comment - I see that your document says this cannot be done through a stylesheet, but I am not sure I understand why. The issue of a note appearing on one page, with the command on another, would still be possible whether the <note> element is coded before or after the <cmd> element, right? That is, if the output is not rendered correctly, I do not understand why this is considered a weakness in the DTD instead of a weakness in the rendering tool.

The international regulations do not mandate the order that the information is stored in a source document, right? In that case, it should be a relatively simple thing to encode a hazard statement after the <cmd> element, but force it to render before the command. If you cannot work with the note element inside <info>, then I think it would impact other users less if the suggested order placed note after cmd: <!ELEMENT step (%cmd;, (%info; |%substeps; | %tutorialinfo; | %note; | %stepxmp; | %choicetable; | %choices;)*, (%stepresult;)? ) > As I mentioned it should still be possible to pick out the hazard note and force it to render before the command.
