F.3.2 Changes

The following are the changes to the Programcode DTD agreed after the last meeting.

CODEPROLOGUE content model

The CODEPROLOGUE element has changed to ROUTINEPROLOGUE, and almost all of its contents are now optional, as well as being in any order. As a result, the MISCCODE element is redundant, and has been removed.

Paragraph content

The paragraph content model has been substantially enlarged, and is now identical with that of the General DTD, with the exception of the cross-reference elements. As part of this, the General DTD was substantially restructured, to extract the paragraph-content elements into a separate DTD fragment, which the two DTDs share.

The changes are implemented in the down-converters

... though not very prettily. They should be robust enough that trial documents conforming to the updated DTDs should be testable.

Defects list added

The `defects list' is now part of the maintained code, and included in the distribution. This is the (supposedly authoritative) list of what changes have been suggested, and comments on their implementation.
