I would go with David Dorwood’s suggestion, this seems the most logical. I
would try and avoid the sup tags, as these are for superscript, which is
really presentational and should be handled by CSS if this is the style
that is required.

RE: [WSG] which tag to use for link to reference?

2012-07-02 Thread Dan Freeman
The sup tag is definitely not presentational.  It's good for the browser
to know what is superscripted.  Think about math and powers.

 

The browser will interpret these two things totally differently:

 

104

10sup4/sup (correct)

10span4/span (browser will think it's 104 instead of 104)

10span4/span (browser will think it’s 104 instead of 10^4 )



Arguably the semantics of mathematics are best conveyed with something 
like MathML, not HTML. sup really just means it's superscript - make 
it look tinier, and up a bit. Compare the semantics of


10sup4/sup vs 1supst/sup vs Msuplle/sup

clearly, not related at all, apart from the fact that they visually look 
the same in print. The meaning (it's a mathematical exponent vs an 
ordinal indicator vs an abbreviation for Mademoiselle) changes depending 
on context, so the semantics are certainly far from cut and dry.


IMHO of course,

Thanks David.

I think ePub3 and HTML5 support is still not here. When converting the HTML5 
doctype files to ePub, Sigil (an ePub editor) forces ePub2 version and stripped 
all HTML5 tags. 

Converting to mobil format for Amazon Kindle is even worse, I feel as if 
dealing with the IE6  7.

Re: [WSG] which tag to use for link to reference?

2012-06-30 Thread tee
Sort of. 

But I looked up from HTML5 tag, cite doesn't' seem to be the correct ones to 
use.

Example of my text when we do it in a Word document.

One model to explain political power, ...is referred to as the monolithic 
theory . 3

Where 3 is superscribed, and at the footnote of the given page where the quoted 
texts located, or references (such as a book title, page # etc)

In a case like this, wrapping 3 in cite doesn't seem correct to me.

I thought maybe I can use hyperlink for monolithic instead of adding 3 (which 
will be directed to Appendix), but this often is not desirable because in other 
sections of paragraphs where citations are used, there aren't alway clear 
sentences to hyperlink.


This is for an ebook project, it's different from the webpage, and the readers 
are more accustom to the footnotes, but footnote doesn't work for ebook format, 
because devices' sizes vary, and portrait vs landscape view affects text flow 
too so strictly speaking there isn't pagination.
