OK, so things are moving along great except for a couple of things. 1. The use of the <para> tag, especially when nested in <itemizedlist> - <listitem>, is causing some problems. The reason for this is that in Ventura you specify the relationship of the tag <itemizedlist><listitem><para> and then Ventura knows what 'Style' to apply to that section. The problem comes into play when Ventura doesn't recognize the 'tree structure', so it just applies the standard <para> tag. And in this case it should have bullet's. In short to make it convenient we need to figure out a way for Ventura to recognize the nested tags without me building every possible relationship. This can even cause havoc in the Section tags <sect1> <sect2> etc. But luckily they only go to <sect5> so it's limited. However, you can infinitely nest tags. Basically, should we use <simpara> for the simple paragraphs, or possible use and 'element' tag to identify nested tags? Are we looking to be 100% compatible with DocBook? I'm thinking should we freeze the tags we use now, and then as people have a need for more advanced stuff we add them as we go. It makes it much easier for me if someone tells me they're putting in <tagx> and they want it formated in such a way. As opposed to someone using a whole bunch of uncommon tags that break the document. Eventually, the whole DocBook standard could be supported but that's a big project in it's self! Maybe I should call Corel :) Darcy O'Neil |
