Hello, Is there a way to define an attribute so that the writer can select more than one choice for its value (i.e., can an attribute be set to a delimited list of values)? For example: vendor= "Windows XP, Windows 2008, Linux, Unix, Mac, iOS". It seems that when attributes are discussed, that there is an assumption that the writer only wants to pick one value for the attribute. For example, when setting the vendor attribute, the writer only needs to choose between Windows or Linux. However, we need to be able to specify more than value for the vendor attribute. For example some of our content applies to Windows only, some of the content applies to Windows and Linux, some of the content applies to iOs and Mac Os, some of the content applies to Windows, Linux, and Mac Os, etc., As we support more operating systems, the number of vendor combinations increases. We need to be able to append the new OS to the vendor attribute. We don't want to have a set of different combinations to choose from as this would be cumbersome to work with. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kate ..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
