HTML structure Caution & Danger

The dita toolbox delivered with oxygen 17 will convert most note types to the following structure in the HTML output:

Code: Select all

<div class="note warning">
<span class="warningtitle">Warning:</span>
This is a warning example text
</div>

However for the 'caution' and 'danger' type the structure in the HTML output differs:

Code: Select all

<div class="cautiontitle">CAUTION:</div>
<div class="note caution">A caution type note text</div>
Has this been done intentionally?
Having no parent container for caution and danger makes it a bit more tricky to style, but especially the different approach for those two types, seem to unnecessarily overcomplicate styling.

Hi,

This seems to be done intentionally, see the XSLT template that process caution note:
https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/blob ... l.xsl#L666

I'm not sure if I entirely understand the reason why they are processed differently, so I have added an issue to the DITA-OT project:

Thanks for the quick response and request.
It's not critical and can be handled in styling; it just seems to unnecessarily 'complicate' consistent styling of note boxes.
