Subject: RE: [dita] Clarification of implications of index-see-also
I believe I wrote (at least the basis for) this wording, and I'm afraid I agree that it is ambiguous. What I meant for it to say is that, in your example, there would be a page number for apple, but not for AAPL. I was trying to contrast it to an index-see where there would be no page number for apple. I was not trying to say that the contents of the index-see-also element would magically be made an additional entry in the index if it isn't otherwise made an entry via another index-term of its own. paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Eliot Kimber [mailto:ekimber@reallysi.com] > Sent: Tuesday, 2011 April 12 8:44 > To: dita > Subject: [dita] Clarification of implications of index-see-also > > The language reference entry for index-see-also says: > > "In addition to its "see also" redirection, an index-see-also > > functions as a pointwise indexterm, thereby typically generating a > > page reference as well as the "see also" indication." > > Given this index markup: > > <index-term> > apple > <index-see-also>AAPL</index-see-also> > </index-term> > > Is the intent that there will be a page number reference to this > index-term's location for both "apple" and "AAPL" or only for "apple"? > > There must be a page number reference for "apple" at this term's > location, > that is clear (because the see-also doesn't change the basic > functioning of > the index term as a point reference). > > The question is whether or not the spec is requiring an additional > entry for > "AAPL" at this location or if the intent is that the see-also just > points to > the named term? > > Cheers, > > E. > > -- > Eliot Kimber > Senior Solutions Architect > "Bringing Strategy, Content, and Technology Together" > Main: 512.554.9368 > www.reallysi.com > www.rsuitecms.com > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that > generates this mail.
