Thanks Ben for your suggestion. :) I use profiling and the condition attribute already. However, from a semantic point of view, condition is very general, not specific to an output format (of course, I can (ab)use it this way, but that's not the point.) Another reason why I think a "format" attribute may be useful: the condition attribute could already be occupied, for example, to apply a special transformation rule. That's one reason why there is such a general attribute. All the other attributes (arch, audience, ...) have a meaning as well. As far as I can see, currently there is no attribute which is invented for this purpose. That's the reason why I think the schema will benefit from it, also in the light of assemblies. ------ [1] http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Profiling.html#ProfilingAttribs -- Gruß/Regards Thomas Schraitle --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
