Initial discussion

Titlealts

https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/202004/msg00003.html (Nitchie, 11 April 2020)

Reviewers Frank Wegmann and Robert Anderson

Chris Nitchie:

Extensible mechanism for people to provide alternate titles. Set in Topic or in Map.

DITA 1 - NavTitle and searchtitle

Keep navtitle and searchtitle as specialization of alttitle - new domain for alttitles

linktitle

keytext

subtitle

titlehint

alttitle @titlerole- nav/search

If title role exists in map and topic, map title wins as long as there's only one.

If multiple (e.g. subtitles), would be combined.

Scott Hudson: Makes sense. Prioritization answered questions

Elliot: Happy with proposal since the get go.

Chris N: Big justification for new pass - got bogged down in <keytext>, so now its own proposal

In previous discussions, thoughts/concerns about fallback for some titles.

If no navtitle, but did provide linktitle, what should you do? the role defines the fallback behavior.

New specializations can just provide fallback behavior.

Kris: Kudos for going through this. SOlid proposal

Zoe what about titlehint

CHris n: in 1.0, @locktitle. If locktitle=on, use map navtitle. If locktitle off, do nothing.

Lots of folks used @navtitle/<navtitle> to render map in editor.

Locktitle offended sensibility.

titlehint provides a title in map editor w/o opening topic to get title. in some cases, can move navtitle>titlehint.

Kris: thanks. Can we vote next week? With no comments, up for a vote next week.

End of today's agenda. use this time for proposals.
