/ Terry Allen <> was heard to say:
| | <orderedlist id="list1">
| 1 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 2 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 3 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 4 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 5 | <listitem>
| | <orderedlist id="list2">
| 1 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 2 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| | </orderedlist>
| | </listitem>
| | </orderedlist>
| |
| | <orderedlist id="list3" continuation="continues">
| 6 | <listitem id="citem">...</listitem>
| 7 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| | </orderedlist>
| |
| | What is the proper value for the numeration of listitem "citem"?
| |
| | Cannot be "5", I feel obligated to offer the document author
| | some way to assert that it is "5", since that is a reasonable
| | thing for the author to want to do.
|
| If you mean 6,
Yes, I did. Drat and blast!
| the markup so asserts. How not?
I think the markup asserts 3:
| | <orderedlist id="list1">
| 1 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 2 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 3 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 4 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 5 | <listitem>
| | <orderedlist id="list2">
| 1 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| 2 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| | </orderedlist>
| | </listitem>
| | </orderedlist>
| |
| | <orderedlist id="list3" continuation="continues">
| 3 | <listitem id="citem">...</listitem>
| 4 | <listitem>...</listitem>
| | </orderedlist>
I think list2 is the closest preceding list, not list1.
| | 2. Add a "ContinuationOf" attribute which is an IDREF to the list
| | which the author would like to continue.
| |
| | Pros: robust; solves the problem
| | Cons: slightly more complex; less flexible, you can't just number
| | a list starting at 37 because you like the number 37.
| |
| | I prefer 2. I suppose we could add both 1 and 2, but we've
| | generally tried to resist solving problems that people didn't
| | claim to have (yet).
|
| Should be a ulink, not an IDREF.
ULink? You want to do this by fragment identifier? I guess
that's forward thinking, but I'm not sure I'm ready to go that
far.
| | If we elect to go with option 2, then we should probably
| | deprecate and then remove "Continuation".
|
| No, continuation is the easy thing.
Not if we can't agree on the semantics! :-)
| But it's all a good topic for face-to-face. BTW, are
| we resolved not to go to summer camp again this year?
We've agreed to three meetings, XTech, XML Europe, and XML/MT.
No mention of the summer camp.
Cheers,
norm
