I think we need to do a little more finessing around the editions. 3.2.1 Basic topic elements: The shortdesc reads The generic topic structure is used for untyped topics. While much of the DITA architecture is built on generic topics, it is generally better to use more specific information types (such as concept, task, or reference) when they are available. Let's recast this for the base edition? , which does not include concept, task, and reference. This simply will require conditionalizing the content of the <shortdesc> for the three editions. 3.2.1.1 <topic>: Probably should exclude the following sentence from the short description in the base edition: Other top-level DITA elements that are more content-specific are <concept>, <task>, <reference>, and <glossentry>, all of which are specializations of the <topic> element. -- Best, Kris Kristen James Eberlein Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee Principal consultant, Eberlein Consulting www.eberleinconsulting.com +1 919 682-2290; kriseberlein (skype) __._,_.___ Posted by: Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com> Reply via web post • Reply to sender • Reply to group • Start a New Topic • Messages in this topic (1) Visit Your Group New Members 4 • Privacy • Unsubscribe • Terms of Use . __,_._,___
