Subject: DITA 1.3 errata review is open


Folks,

 

The DITA 1.3 errata review is open.

 

A few reminders:

                 Please download and review the PDF or CHM file, and then post your comments in DITAWeb.

                 Review schedule and download links are at: https://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/1.3-spec-targeted-reviews

                 I’ve included some tips to using DITAWeb below.

                 DITAWeb is having problems showing line throughs. No need to comment on them.

                 The Revisions widget won't be of use for this review, since we are not using DITAweb for the modified version of the spec, just the errata document and the three new topics.

 

 

 

If you have any questions or need help resetting your DITAWeb password, please contact me.

 

Thanks!

 

Joe Storbeck

 

Using DITAweb for the OASIS DITA TC's reviews of the DITA 1.3 errata
Remember to download the draft for the review from https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/download.php/58714/dita-v1.3-errata01-csd01.zip

 

 

Here are some tips about using DITAweb. Please note that the interface is built of window widgets that you can show or hide; you also can float them to where you want them. If you don't see a widget or have closed it and need it back, click Widget Manager.

Getting started

  1. Go to ditaweb.com/oasis-dita .
  2. In the upper-right corner, click Sign In.
  3. Type your user name and password, and then click OK.
    Your username is your first initial followed by your last name (all lower case). If you have forgotten your password, email me and I will reset it for you.
  4. In the Publications widget, expand the appropriate folder.
  5. Click the publication.
    The publication opens in the Content widget.


Changing your password

  1. In the upper-right corner of the Web browser window, click Profile.
  2. In the Profile window, make your changes, and then click Close.


Navigating around the publication

You can navigate the publication in several ways:

  • In the Contents widget, the TOC is displayed. When you click on a topic, it opens in the middle pane.
  • In the Content widget, there are left and right arrow icons that enable you to move back and forward.
  • In the Search widget, you can see results of a search on a phrase or term.

 

Locating content associated with a DITA 1.3 proposal

  1. In the Revisions widget, expand the revisions node. You'll see nodes that represent each value for @rev that is defined in the subject scheme map.

    cid:part2.6D9B6399.881BE3A6@eberleinconsulting.com
  2. If you expand a node, you'll see a list of the topics that contain that value for the @rev attribute.

    cid:part3.656C4014.53C41E1A@eberleinconsulting.com
  3. Select a topic, and it is displayed in the center pane.

    cid:part4.6275733D.1BCD0959@eberleinconsulting.com

    All DITA 1.3 revisions are highlighted in brown text (per settings in the DITAVAL file); additionally, revisions associated with the value that you selected from the Revisions widget are displayed with a tan background color. Note that completely new topics are not highlighted with either the brown text and the tan background color that DITAweb dynamically generates.

 

Commenting on a topic
There are two type of comments that you'll want to make: Comment and Change. Ignore Note.

  1. Click Enable Annotating, and navigate to the topic on which you want to comment.
  2. Click either Comment or Change.
  3. Select a block of text in the topic.
    A window is displayed. If you clicked Comment, it is blank; if you clicked Change, it is populated with the text that you selected.
  4. Type your comment (or edit the displayed text), and then click the Floppy disk icon.

Viewing comments on a topic

You can view the comments both in the Content widget and in the Annotations widget.

  • If you are viewing a topic and have the Annotations widget open, all the comments present in the topic are displayed in the widget.

    cid:part6.2E8E5107.D33F7C70@eberleinconsulting.com
  • You can view the comments in the Content widget. You can toggle how the comments are displayed -- whether all comments are displayed inline or whether they are just indicated by a small icon -- by clicking Show All Annotations or Hide Annotations.

    Show All Annotations view:
    cid:part7.698EB916.9525A309@eberleinconsulting.com

    Hide All Annotations view: Comment icon highlighted with red box

    cid:part8.5C387AE7.45052962@eberleinconsulting.com

If you have hidden the annotations, you can open a single one by clicking on the Comment icon.
