Description Lana Brindley 2011-05-03 21:10:23 UTC

XML snippet using <stepalternatives> tag

Description of problem:
I would like to request support for the <stepalternatives> tag (http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/stepalternatives.html), which is used to show a selection of steps within a procedure where a user has to pick one of the steps.

I tried using this tag to see what would happen, and while the text renders just fine, the alternative steps aren't marked in any way, they just come out as a block of text. Some kind of numbering is needed (perhaps inherit the number of the parent step and then use letters? So the parent step might be 3, and the first alternative step is 3a, then 3b ... 3n).

I have attached the section of code used, and you can see the output internally at: http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Update_Infrastructure/2.0/html/Installation_Guide/chap-Installation_Guide-Repositories.html
In Procedure 10.3: Add a Red Hat Repository, step 3 contains the <stepalternatives> tags.

Thanks,
Lana

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-05-03 21:27:49 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

The documentation process has nothing to do with the RHEL6 product.
