Subject: Re: [dita-comment] Comment equation numbering in DITA 1.3 spec


Hi, Richard.

Thanks for commenting on the draft DITA 1.3 specification.

We discussed your comments at today's DITA TC meeting, and the DITA TC was unanimously agreed that numbering need to be determined by the specific implementations, as individual companies' requirements were infinitely varied.

At this time, we are not open to making any design changes. If you need a counter, we suggest implementing one in your company-specific environment.

Best,
Kris

Is there an expected behavior for the stylesheet in documents where some equation numbers are set manually, while others are left to automatic numbering by the stylesheet? E.g. should those with manual numbers be counted or ignored for auto-numbering?

 

Also, might it be useful to have a counter that can be referenced? For example: the first equation has an automatically generated number, and in the second equation number I want to create a manual number that is the combination of the first automatic number and an suffix to create something like “Eq. 3” and “Eq. 3a”. Or is this already possible by doing an xref to the first <equation-number/>?
