Looking back, this may be a bug if you consider screen readers. A screen
reader will not know that <div class="p"> is really a paragraph, and
likewise the fake bulleted lists generated from related links - they
should be real un-ordered lists for screen readers.
See below the changes I made.
I'm sorry but I don't agree with you. I confirm that there is no bug here:
The DITA p element may contain elements such as ul, pre, ol, note, etc,
Therefore translating a DITA p element (which may contain ``blocks'';
see http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/p.html) to an
XHTML p element (which may not contain ``blocks''; see
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html#edef-P) would be a bug.
What you request could be a screen-reader-friendly *option* which would
be turned off by default. In fact, this was more or less the meaning of
your initial email (rejected by the moderator of
[email protected] because it looked more like a newbie support
request than a RFE.)
We do not plan to implement, test and document such
screen-reader-friendly option because it is not of general use.
Moreover, we are not organized to accept patches contributed by
third-part developers. Sorry for that.
This being said, XMLmind DITA Converter (ditac) is a free, open source
software, and you are very welcome to modify it to adapt it to your
needs. Apparently, you had not much problems doing that. Congratulations.
