Category: DocBook XML Group: v5.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Scott Hudson (shudson310) Assigned to: Norman Walsh (nwalsh) Summary: allow termdef in acronym Initial Comment: Similar to glossterm allowing termdef for an inline term definition. Some styles of documentation collect all acronyms together in an appendix or glossary of some sort, but another style is to place the definitions inline and automatically generate the list of acronyms and their definitions. This RFE seeks to enable the latter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Norman Walsh (nwalsh) Date: 2007-03-13 09:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=81663 Originator: NO That won't work, Scott. A termdef must contain a glossterm (though I'm going to file an RFE to change that momentarily---but not in a way that makes it optional) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Scott Hudson (shudson310) Date: 2007-02-21 16:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=566420 Originator: YES I was thinking: <acronym>ASCII<termdef>American Standard Code for Information Interchange</termdef></acronym> Which could be rendered inline as: ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) and used to create a formal List of Acronyms. This adds flexibility of being able to keep a Glossary and List of Acronyms separate... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Norman Walsh (nwalsh) Date: 2007-02-21 16:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=81663 Originator: NO What would the markup look like? <acronym>ASCII<termdef><glossterm>ASCII</glossterm> is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange</termdef></acronym>? Wouldn't <termdef><glossterm><acronym>ASCII</acronym></glossterm> is the American Standard ... </termdef> make more sense? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=384107&aid=1664541&group_id=21935 |
