RE: [xliff] Use of fs:fs/fs:subFs in <note> element?

Thanks Rodolfo for your quick response.

Do we have any legitimate use cases for fs:fs attribute in <note> element?

The spec explicitly explain fs:fs/fs:subFs are allowed. But I don't understand the intent.

I also look for valid XLIFF example in the repo, but could not find any example use case.

Hi Yoshito, The spec does not provide an easy way to put links in notes. Inline tags are not supported in <note> so the only (and ugly) way would be to use escaped HTML like in your example. I would prefer to allow using the "source" ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart

Hi Yoshito,

The spec does not provide an easy way to put links in notes. Inline tags are not supported in <note> so the only (and ugly) way would be to use escaped HTML like in your example.

I would prefer to allow using the "source" attribute in <note>, as used in the <gls:term> or <gls:translation> elements from the Glossary module.

Regards,

Rodolfo

I am investigating how to carry translation note including link for external materials.

In XLIFF 2.1 specification, <note> element can have optional format style attributes â fs:fs ad fs:subFs. And the format style attributes from HTML including many inline elements. However, I have no idea how we can use them in <note>.

For example, if you want HTML fragment:

Please check <a href="" href="http://foo.com/123.jpg%22%3Ethe">http://foo.com/123.jpg">the screen capture</a>.

as <note> value, I may put fs:fs attribute like <notes fs:fs="html">, but it looks there is no way to represent inline <a> element in this case.

If this is a part of <source> or <target>, I understand it can be represented as below:

<source>Please check <pc id="1" fs:fs="a" fs:subFs="href, http://foo.com/123.jpg ">the screen capture</pc>.

But, I don't think <pc> is allowed in <note> value If my understanding is correct.

Of course, if we put <a> tag as "<a>" in <note> body, it is valid, but I suspect this is what the spec suggests.

<notes>

<note fs:fs="html">Please check <a href="" href="http://foo.com/123.jpg%22%3Ethe">http://foo.com/123.jpg">the screen capture</a>.</note>

</notes>

Above should be valid, but I think this is not what XLIFF spec author thought about.

Do I misunderstand the specification? If not, what is the typical use case for fs:fs/fs:SubFs attribute in <note> element?

Thanks,

Yoshito
