Well, maybe my understanding of the English language could be incomplete, but for me as a non English speaker, "caution" is not an equivalent for "danger". :) Danger sound more, well, dangerous, than caution. ;) Apart from any language issues on my side, let's look at the ANSI Z535 standard: http://www.safetysign.com/help/h40/safety-header According to this ANSI standard, there are these signal words: DANGER”, “WARNING”, “CAUTION” and “NOTICE”. These labels could be matched to the follwoing DocBook elements: WARNING -> <warning> NOTICE -> <note> CAUTION -> <caution> DANGER -> ??? As you can see, "DANGER" cannot be mapped correctly. You can't use <caution> as you suggested here as it is already in use. Writers who want (or must) follow the ANSI Z535 standard cannot do it consistently with DocBook. By the way, DITA contains a <hazardstatement> where you can select "danger" as a type. > If presentation is an issue use CSS? Well, probably not a presentation issue. Surely, "caution" can be turned into a "danger" without too much trouble. But my concerns are listed above. -- Gruß/Regards, Thomas Schraitle --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: docbook-h...@lists.oasis-open.org
