Subject: RE: [dita-comment] Order of elements within a taskbody
Christina, You can easily change the output order of the two elements during processing. The order in which you write something does not need to be the order in which you render the elements.

For example, if I'm trying to decide whether I need to back up my system, I need the information that helps me decide whether a backup is required or not (the context) before I need to know that I have to get some type of media to back up to (the prerequisite). I note that there seems to have been some discussion around this by Eliot Kimber around November 27, 2007, who is requesting something similar - i.e., that the two elements be allowed to occur in any order. No resolution, it seems, but I'd like to second the request. Thanks, Christina Hardy Technical Writer, Nakina Systems
