Subject: New Interaction Specialization Proposal: In Progress
I can't make today's meeting, but I told John I would prepare a proposal for a new interaction specialization. I've fallen behind and won't be able to get it done for today's meeting but I will have it in advance of next weeks. In terms of approach, there are really only two options: 1. Specialize from <fig> as for the current lcInteractionBase, but allow multiple paragraphs where appropriate as we've discussed. This allows for <title> as <fig> allows title. 2. Specialize from 1.3 <div>. This is more flexible but does not allow <title>. We would have to provide a new element to hold question "titles" (e.g., something like <lcQuestionLabel> specialized from topic/p). Note that it is not possible to use <sectiondiv> as the base for interactions because that would then require them to occur in sections, which is not an acceptable requirement. Likewise, <bodydiv> would disallow questions in sections, also not acceptable. Thus the new <div> for 1.3, which is allowed in both body and section. I have been working with one of my textbook-producing clients on understanding what they mean by "question title". So far we've determined that what they call "title" is really a classifier that often, but not always, happens to reflect the title of the section of the textbook the question applies to, e.g., "Batting stance" or "Physiology" or whatever, but that it is not semantically a title for the question, that is, a distinguishing label. In their case, often multiple questions have the same "title", which means it can't be a title in the sense normally meant in DITA. However, I'm waiting on additional examples to verify that they do not have a case of questions with true titles. -- Eliot Kimber Senior Solutions Architect "Bringing Strategy, Content, and Technology Together" Main: 512.554.9368 www.reallysi.com www.rsuitecms.com
