This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In the attributes index table, recommend linking to the text syntax[1] where "Text" appears in the value column (even if it has an asterisk next to it, which should not be included in the link). [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#syntax-text
EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: The text syntax is about the serialised syntax, whereas the "text" in that table just means plain text in an attribute in the DOM, which isn't the same.
Reopening with the same rationale as bug 9493; clearly I was wrong about what should be linked to (thanks for catching that), but _something_ needs to define "text" more clearly; as it is, the user of the spec casts around for more rules. In fact, most of what I wrote in that bug really should have gone here, please see comment #3[1]. [1] http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9493#c3
See bug 9493 comment 4.
That's great, thanks. Reopening just because of a typo in the "attribute-text" paragraph: << Except where explicitly stated, is no restriction on what text can be specified in such attributes. >> Needs "there" after the comma. (I need to get svn set up so I can generate patches for little things like this.)
