Hi all,
the doctype definition xmlhelp.dtd makes the id attribute of type REQUIRED in all cases. It is needed surely for sections and variables, because they are embedded elsewhere and need to be referenced.
But is the id attribute needed for headings and paragraphs too? There exists already some files having paragraphs without an id attribute, and the files in the delivered .jar archives have stripped the attribute too. But I do not know whether processes exists, that need it. What about translation, or transformation to the Wikihelp, or the help compiler itself, or while generating the .jar files?
If the id attribute is not needed, then the authoring tools can do without generating id values.
Kind regards
Regina
