100.0. "Coding Questions for online processing" by DSM::BURACK () Tue Mar 21 1989 19:40

    Hi,
    
    I have a Language Reference manual for VAX DSM and DSM-11. Many
    of the files are shared and I use condition tags and <reference>
    tags to run this book.
    
    I use <reference>(DSM) in many head levels. Is this going to be
    a problem when running this book for the bookreader? The 
    online_cleanup.com program doesn't like it, so I will have to put
    in symbolic names myself.
    
    I use a local doctype called DECMED8. It has a tag called 
    <section> that is a local tag. What will I have to do to get
    this to work for the bookreader? Also, in general what do you have
    to do if you have local tags?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Ruth-Ellen

	1. <reference> tags in <headn> tags. I've never tried this but see no reason why it shouldn't work. You should get a hot spot in the head, which is what you want, right? 2. Probably you will need to add an SDML string function to your tag definition that would tell the online bookbuilding tools that this is a new kind of online 'chunk.' In many cases, you don't have to worry about your tag definitions, unless they are some form of header tag. (You don't have to worry about them if your tag def calls a global SDML <HEADn> tag because they already know about online chunks.) If your tag def invokes a TeX macro that you have defined for your doctype, the online design file would have to know about this macro and you may have to alter some format parameters (font specs, etc.) If you send me your tag definition (by mail, rather than cluttering up the notes conf), I will try to be more specific about what, if anything, you need to do. Thanks, Mary
