Subject: RE: [dita] DITA Issue Proposal: Styling Options for Conditional Text
I fully support this proposal.
JoAnn JoAnn T. Hackos, PhD From: Paul Prescod [mailto:paul.prescod@blastradius.com] Sent: Monday, August 29, 2005 1:04 AM To: dita@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [dita] DITA Issue Proposal: Styling Options for Conditional Text We propose that the DITAVAL file be
standardized for interchange among applications. The DITAVAL file currently provides
16 colors for styling conditional elements. We propose that the styling options
be extended for scalability, to support multiple output devices, and to
incorporate current knowledge of human factors. Feedback from our customers
indicates that it is important to be able to signal conditions without relying
on color. Non-color formatting is important in monochrome printouts and for
color-blind users. We propose allowing users to assign
the following formats to conditions: underline, double underline, italics,
overline, and bold. We propose allowing users to set
background colors for conditional text. For the vast majority of users who work
in black text on a white background, light highlight colors provide good
contrast for legibility. Paul Prescod and Su-Laine
