Re: [tei-council] processing model use of CSS

So how do we proceed. I see only two possibilities: a) we say "It's CSS. Live with it." b) We say "We strongly recommend using CSS, but if you want to use something else, then you must say what it is using <styleDefDecl> in the Header of your ODD" On 05/02/16 14:04, James Cummings wrote:

That is indeed a good point.

God* forbid! I guess it should be declared once per ODD, otherwise it's just madness to allow different CSS-like language on every model/outputRendition.

That is with a @scheme attribute on <rendition> if I recall correctly. So should outputRendition have a @scheme attribute?

So where do I say in my ODd "watch out I am using SPitbol to express my output renditiond" and how?

I would go with 'b', recommended but other options possible. Perhaps mentioning this is the only option that current implementations support, though I do note that Guidelines are actually not mentioning implementation at all, so won't press the issue.

Sorry I've not converted my ODDs to pure ODD yet. Will try on the train back from Leeds tomorrow evening.

Decision please. The current description of the processing model tacitly assumes that CSS is used to express output rendition, and it's hard to see how else the job would be done, but the text of the Guidelines is rather vague on the topic. Should we say a) outputRendition *must* be expressed using CSS b) it is *recommended* that CSS be used c) we don't care what you use, but our examples assume you will use CSS If we choose b or c, we will presumably need to add some complexity to the scheme (e.g. to say what has been used instead if it's not CSS)
