Really enjoying using XML Mind to get to grips with DITA … and generally remembering to check DITA specs first, as it's clear XML Mind does a good job of implementing them. Here's a two-part question that seems to fall between the two, though; I'll ask it in a way that puts XXE first.1. does XXE .xhtml output from DITA topics support any sort of mouse-over/pop-up, for example to display a definition from a glossary? 2. if so, which DITA construct do I need to go away and learn about?
XMLmind DITA Converter (AKA ditac), the DITA processor integrated in XMLmind XML Editor, converts the contents the DITA <desc> child element to an XHTML "title" attribute.
The "title" XHTML attribute is typically rendered as a tooltip (AKA balloon help) by Web browsers. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/dom.html#attr-title
The problem is that the DITA <desc> child element is allowed inside very few elements, namely: fig, object, xref, table, link, linklist.
