1306027 Support for annotations in synopsis elements
Covered in agenda item 10.
1468921 add person element
The committee discussed the use cases and the proposed element structure.
There was concern about putting such structured content in an inline
element, especially personblurb which contains paragraph content. The group
saw the need to record information inline, but that processing expectations
should be that the application format some information inline, ignore some,
or process some out of line (footnotes, popups, appendix lists, etc.).
Norm suggested that organization names need similar treatment. The
following two content models were proposed:
org = orgname, (address|affiliation|email|orgdiv)*
person = personname, (address|affiliation|email|personblurb)*
These new elements are to be added to appropriate inline content models.
The proposal was accepted, intended for DocBook v5.
ACTION: Norm to add person and org elements to V5 Beta 6.
Meeting adjourned at 6:10 EDT.
