Re: [dita-help] Browse Sequence

[Scott Prentice <sp@leximation.com>]

Hi Tony...

My first thought would be to follow the old WinHelp browse sequence 
approach of assigning a number (not necessarily a sequential number) to 
each topic to define the ordering. This could be as simple as .. 
topic/prolog/metadata/othermeta/@name='browse' @content='NNN'

Although it might be nice to be able to assign this via the map as well.

I'm not familiar with the way modern tools require this data, but I'd 
imagine that this would probably work for them as well.
