Re: [dita-comment] allow <appendix> in <part> for DITA 2.0?

There are publications that have per-part appendixes. 

Cheers,

    Hi Chris,
    I advise my clients to use <appendices> as the equivalent to <part> to group appendixes in. Would that work for you?

    Hi all,
     
    Could you please consider allowing <appendix> inside <part> in a <bookmap> in DITA 2.0?
     
    <part href="rules/intro.dita">
    <appendix href="rules/rules1.dita">...</appendix>
    <appendix href="rules/rules2.dita">...</appendix>
    ...
    </part>
    <part href="safety/intro.dita">
    <appendix href="safety/requirements1.dita">...</appendix>
    <appendix href="safety/requirements2.dita">...</appendix>
    ...
    </part>
     
    Context: We are deciding whether to migrate from structured FrameMaker (~50 writers, ~200 books). Some of our larger FrameMaker books organize appendixes this way. This DITA enhancement would be timely.
     
    Thanks!
