|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | <p>The Docbook-to-DITA transform uses a design pattern that might be called <dfn class="term">a
|
|---|
| 40 | dialogue transform</dfn>. This approach makes a strict separation between
|
|---|
| 41 | the input and output logic. Generating an output element requires a conversation
|
|---|
| 42 | between the output writer and the input reader:</p>
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | <dl>
|
|---|
| 45 | <dt class="dlterm">DITA writer</dt>
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | <dd>The DITA writer knows how to generate DITA output. After producing an
|
|---|
| 48 | element, the writer requests the attributes and content of the element from
|
|---|
| 49 | the reader. For instance, the paragraph output rule generates a <samp class="codeph"><p></samp> element
|
|---|
| 50 | and then requests the id attribute and other attributes of the paragraph and
|
|---|
| 51 | then the paragraph content. Where the content is a simple sequence (for instance,
|
|---|
| 52 | as with a topic or list), the writer requests in the subelements individually. </dd>
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | <dt class="dlterm">Docbook reader</dt>
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | <dd>The Docbook reader knows how to read Docbook input. When the DITA writer
|
|---|
| 58 | requests an attribute or content, the reader is responsible for satisfying
|
|---|
| 59 | the request from the current input context. For instance, when the DITA paragraph
|
|---|
| 60 | writer requests an id attribute, the reader might copy the id attribute from
|
|---|
| 61 | the current Docbook input element or from a nearby Docbook input element.
|
|---|
| 62 | The reader can also generate an id attribute or skip the id attribute. Similarly,
|
|---|
| 63 | when the DITA paragraph writer requests paragraph content, the reader can
|
|---|
| 64 | provide paragraph content by invoking the output rules on any of the text
|
|---|
| 65 | and subelements from the input (often but not necessarily from content of
|
|---|
| 66 | the current input element).</dd>
