Title: RE: [dita] DITA errata template: Redlining issue

The XML editor that all of you use, and the one that I use, retain (most) deleted material in PIs if you turn on change tracking. Attribute changes are problematic.

I think there was a time about a skillion years ago that we did some DITA OT customization for a customer who wanted to see something like this. Or that might have been just for change bars in the margins.

Don't we have a line-through element? http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/os/part3-all-inclusive/langRef/base/line-through.html#line-through

Just sayin'

Folks, the template that we received from Paul Knight includes instructions to indicate any deleted text with strike through. (Thanks to Bob Thomas for carefully looking at the template and bringing this to my attention.)

I've sent e-mail to Paul Knight and Chet Ensign basically saying "Hey, we can't do this; this is a Microsoft Word convention. We CAN provide a clear list of changes ...", but I have not yet heard back.

Thoughts from TC members?
