Ah, I see. And yes, we certainly need to be careful so that people don’t conflate “structured authoring” with “DITA”. I purposely used the slash construct, “structured/DITA” precisely because I wanted to address both “structured authoring, regardless of the tool” and “DITA”. But I agree that, unfortunately, this construct makes them seem interchangeable. I’ll have to think how to reword the title. If I drop either one, I might lose people who are thinking about the one that I dropped (for example, dropping “DITA” and saying just, “structured authoring”), and who don’t realize that the presentation is applicable to them even though it uses the other term. Which could happen if they’ve conflated the terms. So I’ll need to think how to re-title it, and am glad for this discussion that brought the issue to the forefront! -Monique _______________________________________________ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to [email protected] Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to [email protected]
