[oXygen-user] FM/OXY: Different DITA code for "conkeyref"

[Frank Dissinger]

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
