Hi list, As some of you know, I have just switched from FrameMaker to oXygen. I discovered that the two programs create different DITA code for "<dlentry conkeyref="...">. oXygen creates an empty *<p/> *tag before the closing </dlentry> tag. Are both codes equally correct? Or is one better than the other? oXygen code: <dlentry conkeyref="lib_ref/search"> <dt/> <dd>*<p/>*</dd> </dlentry> FrameMaker code: <dlentry conkeyref="lib_ref/search"> <dt/> <dd/> </dlentry> Referenced dita topic: <dlentry id="search"> <dt><uicontrol keyref="color_search_box"/></dt> <dd><p>Use this option to quickly find a specific color if many colors are loaded.</p><p>Enter the first few letters or any part of the color name. This will select the first color the name of which is matched by these characters.</p><p>If your input matches multiple colors, click on the small arrow to select a color from the list. This list contains only colors with names that contain the characters you have entered.</p></dd> </dlentry> BTW: This difference became obvious after defining a Schematron rule which outputs an error for <dd> elements which do not have any child elements. I have defined this rule and many similar ones because I want to wrap every paragraph in <p> wherever <p> is valid. The FM-generated code (<dd/>) is marked up as invalid by this rule. It would be a nightmare to change all these hundreds of "conkeyref"s in all my projects. Or should I just do without this check (i.e. the second "assert")? <sch:pattern id="Check_DD"> <sch:rule context="dd"> <sch:assert test="not(text()[normalize-space()])">DD element must not contain any text.</sch:assert> <sch:assert test="*">DD does not contain any child elements</sch:assert> </sch:rule> </sch:pattern> Regards, Frank -- *Frank Dissinger* Documentation Manager .................................................................... *CGS Publishing Technologies International GmbH* *Email *frank.dissinger@cgs-oris.com | *Web* www.cgs-oris.com <http://www.cgs-oris.com/> *Address* Kettelerstr. 24 | D-63512 Hainburg | Germany *Phone* +49 6182 9626-27 | *Fax* +49 6182 9626-99 *Commercial register* Offenbach, HRB no. 21495 *Managing directors* Bernd Rückert, Christoph Thommessen https://www.cgs-oris.com/Signatur.png <https://www.cgs-oris.com/signatur>
