RE: [dita-comment] Discussion about conrefend

["Julio Vazquez" <jvazquez@vasont.com>]

Hi Radu,

I wasn't even worried about continuous (or is the right word contiguous?)
siblings because range brings that idea to the forefront, in my opinion. In
any case, I do agree that the rest of the addressing is unneeded for
@conrefend.

Hi Julio,

Actually, more than this, the range of referenced elements must only contain
continuous consecutive siblings:

> Processors will resolve the range by pulling in the start target and
following sibling DOM nodes across to and including the end target.

So you also don't need the target topic ID for anything in a DITA processor.

Radu
