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 - -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | If today was a fish, I'd throw it http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | back in.
