How to output a clickable check box?

Post by Lemesany »

I need to create a check box like https://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-20 ... ndixB.html
How can I mark this up in DITA?

Hi,
The DITA XML standard itself does not have support to define checkboxes, forms.
I think you could either use the DITA XML <boolean> element to represent a state (but you would need to create a publishing specialization to convert it to a specific HTML element):
https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/spec ... olean.html
Or embed HTML content directly inside the DITA content using the <foreign> element:
