Subject: DOCBOOK: Re: Which attribute to use for context-sensitive help?


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

/ Tom.Slee@sybase.com was heard to say:
| The application calls the help system, supplying a context ID, which is
| mapped to an element in the document. I want to store this mapping in the
| document, and then we can write out what the help system needs. I'd like to
| assign the context ID for an element to an attribute for that element. I
| could use any old attribute, such as "role"
|
| <sect1 id="a-helpful-topic" role="SOME-HELP-CONTEXT-ID">...
|
| My question is, there is no obvious attribute to use for this purpose. Is
| there a conventional choice that I can follow?

What prevents you from using the elements actual ID as it's context ID?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
