Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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
