Questions on xhtml2 transition:
1) Is there agreement that we'll need an o.a.f.input.xdoc plugin?
Yes.
2) Can someone make sure this xdoc2xhtml2 transform mapping is heading
in the right direction? (also, if you can give me info on the notes
below I would appreciate it)
I see David linked you to past threads on this topic. Much of the
mapping below has been discussed before. My comments here are from
memory, if they contradict past agreements then use your best judgement
as to which is the best approach.
This looks like a lis of the Document V2 elements. Internally we use
Document v1.3 at present. Since we already have Doc V2.0 -> document
V1.3 stylesheets I think we should be aiming at Document V1.3 -> XHTML2.
I've gone through your list though.
3) If anyone is already working on this, let me know so that I can stop.
* a -> a
a is only included in XHTML2 for legcy reasons. It is replaced by
allowing a href attribute on all elements. I think we should follow the
same model. Hoever, it will be easier to just directly map like you
suggest. I'm -0 on doing it the easy way (meaning I may change it one
day if you choose the easy route now, but I'm not contributing to this
effort so do what you will).
* abstract -> <p property="abstract">
property? I thought that was only for the metadata module elements?
I think in the past we said <section class="abstract">, is property more
appropriate?
I have a feeling that in the past we said <p class="absract"> I'm
suggesting <section> instead because it will be easy with abstracts with
multiple paragraphs.
* acronym -> abbr
OK
* anchor -> <a id="@id">
See above comments on <a>.
I suspect there is another recomended anchor mechanism in XHTML2, I
*think* it is to use the id attribute on elements, this way an anchor
can be placed anywhere without adding new elements.
* area -> ??
I have no idea what area in our DTD is!
* authors -> <meta property="authors">
We need to make "authors" whatever dublin core defines the property name
as, but otherwise OK.
* body -> body
OK :-)
* br -> separator
separator is a replacement for <hr> in html. As David said <l> is the
correct alternative for <br>
See
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xhtml2-20050527/introduction.html#s_intro_differences
* caption
-> caption
* code -> code
* dd -> dd
* dl -> dl
* document -> html
* dt -> dt
* em -> em
* figure -> img
All OK
> * fixme -> <p class="fixme">
<section class="fixme">? (see comments above re abstract)
* footer -> <section property="footer">
<section class="footer">? (see comments above re property)
* header -> head
OK
* icon -> img (should this be <link rel="icon">?)
I think this is <img class="icon">. We used icon to determine inline
graphics before. But that is the job of CSS isn't it?
* img -> img
OK
* legal -> <p property="legal">
<section class="legal">?
* li -> li
OK
* map -> ??
What is "map"? An image Map? If it is then see
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xhtml2-20050527/mod-csImgMap.html#adef_csImgMap_coords
* meta -> meta
* note -> p class="note">
OK
* notice -> <p class="notice">
<section class="notice">?
* ol -> ol
* p -> p
OK
* person -> <meta property="person"><meta property="name"><meta
property="email"></meta>
We should use the Dublin Core names for the properties. Otherwise OK.
* section -> section
* source -> blockcode
* strong -> strong
* sub -> sub
OK
* subtitle -> <meta property="subtitle">
I have no suggestion for an alternative, however something "feels" wrong
with this. Go with it for now though.
* sup -> sup
* table -> table
* td -> td
* th -> th
* title -> title
* tr -> tr
OK
* type -> <meta property="type">
Is there a Dublin Core property name for this? What is type anyway?
* ul -> ul
OK
* version -> <meta property="version><meta property="minor"/><meta
property="major"/></meta>
Dublin Core property name...
* warning -> <p class="warning">
<section class="warning">?
Notes:
o) header/abstract & notice has a more lenient content model than
xhtml2 meta so I couldn't get them in the head. Anyone know better?
Are you saying XHTML2 has direct alternatives? I'll need to look into
this in more detail when I have time.
o) li | dt - I think that the xhtml2 version of these may be more
strict than ours but I'm still trying to figure this out.
o) "img" in xhtml2. I see there is one, but I can't figure out where
it's allowed. If someone knows, please let me know.
I always assumed it was allowed anywhere, but I've never checked.
Remember David has committed XHTML2 validation code to our SVN Head, you
could use that to check things.
