FW: [dita] DITA 1.2 elements needing styling and translatable strings

Title: DITA 1.2 elements needing styling and translatable strings

Hello,

 

The
DITA TC discussed this issue this morning, and concluded that it falls more
under the mandate of the Adoption TC. 

 

Is
the Adoption TC comfortable with producing a document containing
recommendations on how to style new DITA 1.2 elements? And if yes, does anyone
have a draft that can be used as a basis for the document? I could probably
come up with a draft if needed.

 

Cheers,

Su-Laine

Subject: [dita] DITA 1.2 elements needing styling and translatable
strings

 

Hi everyone,

Is there a list of new DITA
elements and attributes for which processors are expected to apply special
styling and/or generated text?

For example, the new
<note=”warning”> attribute needs a new string which needs to
be translated. It seems
that many of the new
elements for Learning & Training and Machine Industry also warrant some
kind of distinctive appearance, otherwise adopters will wonder why they are
bothering to use them.

Who is responsible for
coming up with this list –
the DITA TC , the DITA
Adoption TC, or each
team that develops a DITA
processor?
