RE: [dita] Revised content model options for #12011 - Generic Task Type
Hi Michael,

The email from Alan provides no rationale
for the <process>, just shows the syntax. Let me know if any of the
minutes show the rationale or any examples. I’ve written Alan but haven’t
received a response as yet.

I
submit this message for possible discussion at today's 

(11-December-2007) DITA TC meeting. Below is a
summary of proposed 

content models that will support proposal #12011
-- Generic Task Type. 

These content models are the result of recent
discussion on the DITA TC 

list.

-Alan

-------------

Summary:

- Optional, repeatable <note> allowed before
<cmd>

- <taskbody> allows only a single
<steps> element

- New <process> element to permit
<ol>/<ul> constructions in <taskbody>

Proposed content models:

taskbody:

(prereq?,

context?,

(steps | steps-unordered | process),

result?,

example?,

postreq?)

(Issue: allow <section> before and after
<steps>?)

steps/steps-unordered:

Support <section> between steps:

(section?, step)+

step:

Support optional, repeatable <note> before
cmd:

(note*,

cmd,

(info | substeps | tutorialinfo | stepxmp |
 choicetable | choices)*,

stepresult?)

Issue: allow <itemgroup> in <step>?

process:

(section?, (ol | ul))+

Issue: this would allow multiple ol/ul elements.
