Subject: Re: [docbook] Allowing other namespaced content in info

I guess this is a minor issue, but I doesn't seem necessary for the doc to explicitly mention that they're not used for rendering. The current doc for Info already says: Suppressed. Many of the elements in this wrapper may be used in presentation, but they are not generally printed as part of the formatting of the wrapper. The wrapper merely serves to identify where they occur. So processing expectations for the non-DocBook info content wouldn't really be any different from those of the DocBook info content. > One question that has been raised, is whether a separate <foreign> > element should be introduced as a child of info, that could contain this > kind of namespaced information or not? Having a Foreign wrapper doesn't seem necessary, since the elements would already be in a different namespace. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith xmpp:smith@sideshowbarker.net irc://irc.freenode.net/mobile-web
