[libreoffice-l10n] Re: Proposed XHP extensions

Hi Olivier,

Yes, this would be a step forward in making things easier for people to
contribute to the help files, which is not an easy task even for those
of us who have some knowledge of XML.

If my reading of your answer to Noel is correct, you propose to set the
DTD to localize="true". It's unclear to me why xml-lang CDATA #REQUIRED
is set, otherwise your example could be reduced to <tip id="123456">, or
am I missing something?

Anyway thanks for your continuing efforts to to improve this function.

Best Regards
Dave
