Subject: RE: [dita] DITA 1.3 FEATURE REQUEST: <gloss-sort-as>
Hi, It’s
logged here as item #13010: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/DITA_1.3_Proposals?highlight=(1.3)
. Su-Laine Su-Laine Yeo JustSystems Canada, Inc. From: Gershon Joseph
(gerjosep) [mailto:gerjosep@cisco.com] Hi all, At our previous DITA Adoption TC meeting, one of the DITA-OT
developers pointed out that the new glossary markup does not address sorting
the glossary entries. I would like to add a discussion of this item to a future
DITA TC meeting for consideration. I don't expect this to make it into DITA
1.2, but rather have us discuss it and decide whether to add it to our 1.3 list
or reject it. Thanks, Gershon From: Gershon Joseph (gerjosep) Hi Joe, I'll take the sort as issue to the TC. Thanks for pointing it
out. Many of the new elements in the glossary spec require quite a lot
of specialized processing, so tools will need to support them. I'd need to
remind myself on how much is normative -- I expect most if not all of the
processing requirements would be non-normative, in which case tools can do what
they want. Gershon From: Joe Gelb [mailto:joeg@suite-sol.com] Hi, I’m
not sure if I will be able to make today’s call (or at least not the
whole thing) but I wanted to give an answer to the group about the glossary 1.2
spec support in the current 1.5M10 FO plug-in. Basically:
there is nearly 0% support added in up to now. However, since all the elements
are specialized from something else, it could be that there would be reasonable
behavior without doing much – would need to get tested with some real
content. This is aside from any specific best practice behaviors specified in
the spec that would require complex processing. Although
I am fairly certain we do have code for implementing glossaries, we have not
yet hit upon any customers who asked for this implementation, so we do not have
anything ready for contribution on this at this point. However, we did have a
customer who needed something that was not included in this spec,
<gloss-sort-as>, which we did in fact implement. Perhaps someone on the
dita architecture committee (or whoever created this spec) can suggest
including this. Hope
this helps. Joe Joe Gelb
