C.1.44 Element mapid

C.1.44.1 Description

Several elements, including the sectioning elements (see sect), table and figure, have an `export' attribute. Amongst other things, this expresses a committment to keep the associated ID valid in future versions of a document. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to remove sections, or change their content in such a way that a reference via their original ID would be inappropriate. In this case, you can use the mapid element to remap the target of the reference, either to some other element which is now appropriate, or to some section which explains that the targeted section has been deleted.

The mapid element takes two attributes, the original ID and a replacement, to which it is to be transparently and silently mapped.
