Hi Dawn,

 

I hope you are doing fine.

 

I am writing to you as a member of the DITA TC  regarding a question related to the DITA spec:

 

We have noticed that the @keyref attribute (which we would like to use to reference text variables) is not supported for the <filepath> and <userinput> elements, although DITA 1.3 spec says that it should.

 

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/os/part3-all-inclusive/langRef/technicalContent/filepath.html

 

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/os/part3-all-inclusive/langRef/technicalContent/userinput.html

 

 

Either the DTD or the documentation are wrong. Are you already aware of this issue?

 

What can I tell our tools team, who have checked that it is not on our end that we have removed the attribute from those two elements, but that it really doesn't exist in the 'plain' DITA DTDs?

 

Thanks and regards,

Silke
