RE: [dita] Question on conditional processing and keyref resolution

Title: Re: [dita] Question on conditional processing and keyref resolution

Hi Eliot,

 

You answered my question clearly, thanks. We thought that in this example, the <image> might need to be resolved using the PR3604 graphic  becuase the "product" attribute on the <image> matches the "product" attribute on the second <keydef>.

 

I have a couple more questions which I'll send along separately in order to keep the threads readable.

 

Thanks again for the quick response.

 

Cheers,

Su-Laine

Not sure I understand your question. If there is no filtering applied then
it must be as though all elements are unconditional and therefore the first
potentially-applicable binding must be the effective binding irrespective of
any applicability attributes they specify.

You say "because its conditions match". Match what? Matching is only
meaningful in the context of applying filtering for the purposes of key
space construction and key reference resolution (flagging is not relevant).
So if no filtering is applied there's nothing to match.

Cheers,

E.
