Note about resolving conref.

Here is an idea 
about resolving conrefs that I received from Michael Priestly. Please consider 
it for our committee meeting tomorrow. I am looking for a process that we can 
recommend in an amendment to the conref best practices 
document.

 

___

It would 
require custom XSLT. Probably not much, using one of the existing conref XSLTs 
as a base. Prior to sending files to translation, the author would run a 
packaging process that runs the XSLT against each of the files they intend to 
send. The packaging process would require some custom batch files to run the 
XSLT, probably ant-based if they're using the DITA open toolkit since they could 
borrow from existing processes again.
