Subject: RE: [dita] Revised content model options for #12011 - Generic Task Type



Hi JoAnn,

The rationale below is to allow <ol> and <ul> into taskbody. In other words, if someone wants to create a task with a simple <ol> instead of the more prescriptive <steps>, the <process> element allows them to do so.

Hi Michael,
The email from Alan provides no rationale for the <process>, just shows the syntax. Let me know if any of the minutes show the rationale or any examples. I’ve written Alan but haven’t received a response as yet.

[dita] Revised content model options for #12011 - Generic Task Type

 


   





I submit this message for possible discussion at today's
(11-December-2007) DITA TC meeting. Below is a summary of proposed
content models that will support proposal #12011 -- Generic Task Type.
These content models are the result of recent discussion on the DITA TC
list.

-Alan
-------------
Summary:
- Optional, repeatable <note> allowed before <cmd>
- <taskbody> allows only a single <steps> element
- New <process> element to permit <ol>/<ul> constructions in <taskbody>

Proposed content models:
taskbody:
(prereq?,
context?,
(steps | steps-unordered | process),
result?,
example?,
postreq?)
(Issue: allow <section> before and after <steps>?)

steps/steps-unordered:
Support <section> between steps:
(section?, step)+

step:
Support optional, repeatable <note> before cmd:
(note*,
cmd,
(info | substeps | tutorialinfo | stepxmp |  choicetable | choices)*,
stepresult?)
Issue: allow <itemgroup> in <step>?

process:
(section?, (ol | ul))+
Issue: this would allow multiple ol/ul elements.
