Subject: RE: [dita] Why There are Constraints on Conref
While not strictly related to DITA, when I teach the concepts of reuse, I use source for the original content to be reused and target for the place in which the content will be reused. -----Original Message----- From: Kristen James Eberlein [mailto:keberlein@pobox.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 10:22 PM To: ekimber Cc: Ogden, Jeff; tself@hyperwrite.com; dita Subject: Re: [dita] Why There are Constraints on Conref I'm glad that Tony brought this up. The DITA spec -- and other documentation -- is inconsistent about this.About 50% follows Tony's definition of source and target, and another 50% uses the opposite construction. Personally, it make sense to me that "source" contains the actual content -- the content that gets pulled or pushed into else where (the "target"), but I'd really like to know if this contradicts some formal definition of source and target ....
