Thanks to your earlier advice on conditions, I'm now fairly confident with using <ph status=> and a ditaval file to flag changes between two versions of a document. What I'm wondering now is whether it's possible to use both status and rev for really fine-grain control of output. When I was managing regulatory documents in FrameMaker, I used conditions to achieve a sequence like this over the course of three revisions, without needing to delete anything in the source files before producing revision C:
revision A Runway orientation is 137°W revision B Runway orientation is 137°W 138°W revision C Runway orientation is 138°W In approximate DITA code, I guess the update would look something like this: <p>Runway orientation is <ph rev="B" status="deleted">137°W</ph> <ph rev="B" status="new">138°W</ph> </p> So is it possible to use a ditaval file for revision B to say IF rev="B" and status="deleted" - output text, formatted grey strikethrough IF rev="B" and status="new" - output text, formatted green and then a new ditaval file for revision C to say IF rev="B" and status="deleted" - do not output text IF rev="B" and status="new" - output text with no special formatting I appreciate this is getting dangerously close to a DITA question rather than a pure XXE question ... but would welcome your advice. Niels Grundtvig Nielsen technical author T&P you know what you're talking about - I can help you say it [ps] by the time I moved on, I had FM files that included tracked changes for over thirty versions of the content; no-one ever asked, but it would have been possible to go back and generate the content from any version with just the delta from the previous version highlighted ________________________________ Worldline SA/NV - Chaussee de Haecht 1442 Haachtsesteenweg - 1130 Brussels - Belgium RPM-RPR Bruxelles-Brussel - TVA-BTW BE 0418.547.872 Bankrekening-Compte Bancaire-Bank Account 310-0269424-44 BIC BBRUBEBB - IBAN BE55 3100 2694 2444 "The information contained in this e-mail and any attachment there to be confidential and may contain information which is protected by intellectual property rights.
