Hi Kris,

Thank you for your update.

I appreciate your help.

This feature will be used suddenly in current DITA 1.3 user.

Hi, Makita-san.

Just to let you know that we have updated the grammar files for the DITA 1.3 errata in GitHub: https://github.com/oasis-tcs/dita/tree/hotfix/DITA-1.3_Errata03

Best,

As our user will stay in DITA 1.3 for certain terms, I'm looking forward the grammar files update.

Greetings,

It looks like you have found an error in the DITA 1.3 specification. The text that you linked to does list @outputclass as a valid attribute for the <colspec> element, but it is not defined in either the DTD or RNG Grammar files.

The good news is that it is already there in the DITA 2.0 vocabulary:

https://github.com/oasis-tcs/dita/blob/DITA-2.0/doctypes/dtd/base/tblDecl.mod#L205-L207

https://github.com/oasis-tcs/dita/blob/DITA-2.0/doctypes/rng/base/tblDeclMod.rng#L277-L279

You should be able to use this in DITA 2.0, and I think the TC should discuss whether to add this to the grammar files in the errata branch for the 1.3 specification.

Thanks,

Robert

Subject: [External] : [dita-comment] Adding @outputclass to colspec element

Â

Dear DITA committee,

If this is already discussed, please forgive me.

I have a strong requirement from user to add table column specific PDF formatting and tried to use colspec/@outputclass but it seems not allowed by DITA 1.3 DTD.

The requirements are as follows:

1. If table/row/entry in specific column is divided into multiple pages, output the original entry content in page 2 or later. Probably this column is used as title column.
2. Also table/row/entry in specific column is divided into multiple pages,output the specific word first such as "Continued" in page 2 or later. This column is used as data column.

In the following URL, colspec/@outputclass seems to be allowed. But I cannot use in DITA 1.3 DTD. I think it is very convenient that I can author column specific attributes via colspec/@outputclass. (For instance, apply column specific background color in table formatting.)

3.2.3.3 <colspec>
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata02/os/complete/part3-all-inclusive/langRef/base/colspec.html#colspec

> The following attributes are available on this element: Universal attribute group (without the Metadata attribute group), @base from the Metadata attribute group , outputclass, and the attributes defined below.

If there is any misunderstanding, please let me know it to me.

Regards,
