[odf-discuss] Opportunity to move from (adapted) DocBook toOpenDocument

[Søren Roug]

It looks like your intention is to tag all references to Fred with an identifier.

In that case, try to look at 7.1.2 User-Defined Index Marks in the OpenDocument Spec.

The tag would be something like:

<text:user-index-mark-start text:id="Actor_1" text:index-name="Actors"/>Fred<text:user-index-mark-end text:id="Actor_1"/>

|| 
|| Hello all, first message on this list, it is quite technical 
|| compared to
|| the recent messages, but I didn't find a better place to 
|| ask, feel free to
|| redirect me to the right mailing list if it exists.
|| 
|| I am currently studying the conversion of a large corpus of documents
|| currently written in a slightly edited DocBook format (with 
|| some field
|| specific semantics added) to OpenDocument.  Those semantic 
|| elements are
|| then used afterwards to provide HTML and PDF versions with 
|| links and other
|| niceties.  I am sorry I can't tell more at the moment.
|| 
|| After reading the spec (not everything but most of the text related
|| things) and playing with OpenOffice.org, I didn't find 
|| anything really
|| convincing; I may do somethinglike this but don't like it much:
|| 
||   <text:p>
||     So I called <text:user-field-get text:name="Actor_1">Fred
||     </text:user-field-get> but he didn't answer.
||   </text:p>
|| 
|| 
|| This is after I tried to to it with a custom namespace, like this:
|| 
||   <text:p>
||     So I called <my:actor ref="1">Fred</my:actor> but he didn't
||     answer.
||   </text:p>
|| 
|| which was nice but didn't display the name in OOo.
|| 
|| 
|| So, going past my local problem, are there guide lines, best 
|| practices,
|| about extending ODF for specific domains, while remaining 
|| compatible with
|| both the specification and the applications and tools ?
|| 
|| 
|| 
|| Thanks for reading this,
|| 
||         Frederic
