Subject: RFE [1537424 ] Allow Jobtitle inline
I'm following up on my action item to research whether other elements besides jobtitle should be allowed inline in general text in Docbook V5. The requestor expressed a need to refer to a jobtitle without a person's name, such as "Database Administrator" when describing a database product. The jobtitle element currently appears only in affiliation, and affiliation appears in author, editor, person, collab, othercredit, and org. These clearly would not satisfy the request, and I think this is a valid use case. The question is whether there are other info elements that also might be needed inline. Currently these elements can already be used inline outside of info: author editor person personname org orgname email address I think the only other elements that we might want to consider are: publisher publishername biblioid publisher and publishername would be used when referring to the publisher of a document other than the current document. The same with biblioid, to allow markup of an ISBN of a book that is not the current book. But if you allow biblioid, would you also want to allow edition, issuenum, pubdate, and seriesvolnums? I don't think there are any other elements similar to jobtitle that are not already allowed inline. Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises DocBook Consulting bobs@sagehill.net
