Subject: RE: [dita] Product names and reuse
Hi there, I encounter these issues with almost every client I support and wanted to “vote” for the importance of a solution for this. I’m sorry that I was unable to attend the meeting this morning, but have read the minutes and see that there isn’t any easy answer. If there is another call about this subject, I will try to attend. Thanks, Amber Amber Swope dita specialist <dita strategies> 503.922.3038 From: dita@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:dita@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Kristen James Eberlein A thread about difficulty in reusing products names has cropped up on the dita-users list.
2) Another team decides to use <keyword> to hold their product names -- better choice -- but they also discover that they cannot put a keyword element within a <wintitle> element; they have to duplicate their product names within <text> elements for use within <wintitle> elements. And the <tm> element is not available within <text>. 3) Yet another team is stymied because their product name contains typographic formatting (superscript, subscript, bold or italic formatting, an inline image) that cannot be contained in either the <keyword> or <text> element. And while the text element can nest, the @outputclass attribute is not available. Architects and the writers are caught between a strong desire to reuse content and ensure that product names are consistently used, and a need to have their company's name render correctly. Thoughts about how we might try to address this problem? And sense about how big (or small) this problem is? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that generates this mail.
