Discussed Andrzej's note on inline elements: "If we have the opportunity during today's conference call, I would like to discuss the issue of subflows within inline elements. The definition of inline elements for DITA has been a great step forward. We now need to classify which of the inline elements are in fact subflows, that is they do not form part of the linguistic text flow within which they occur. For example footnote text (fn) or index text (indexterm). For localization it is important to be able to separate these out during translation and then to be able to put the text back where appropriate." Reviewed Robert's table[6] of inline elements and noted the following elements that fall into this category: footnote, alt, indexterm, draft-comment, required-cleanup If anyone wants to propose additional elements for this list, plesae post to email list. 5. Discussed Nancy Harrison's outline[3] of Best Practice needs. Discuss next time: How to deal with page range index markers. ACTION: JoAnn to contribute some markup examples. ACTION: Nancy to rephrase adding subflows for translation tools. Meeting adjourned at 09:00am PT. --- [1] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-translation/200604/msg00021.html [2] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-translation/200605/msg00000.html [3] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-translation/200605/msg00002.html [4] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-translation/200604/msg00019.html [5] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-translation/200604/msg00020.html [6] http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/download.php/18040/elements.html
