231.0. "Line break with <REFERENCE> in interactive example" by BOOKIE::MURRAY (Chuck Murray) Mon Nov 27 1989 15:07

[Reposted after correcting error in the original]

The use of <reference> in an interactive example causes the text
to be put one line down (i.e., not on the same line). For example,
the SDML code is as follows:

   <interactive>
   <s>($ ) <u>(<reference>(pdd_verb))
   <endinteractive>

What that should come out as (and does come out as for PostScript
output) is:

   $ RDBEXPERT

However, the Bookreader displays the output as:

   $
    RDBEXPERT

This happened on BOOKIE -- VMS V5.3, DECwindows V2 (I think),
DOCUMENT V1.2-A.

    Chuck-
    
    What baselevel of the online tools are you using? I just tried your
    example out with the Oct 27 baselevel (the latest) on VAXUUM and
    the online output was fine -- $ RDBEXPERT all on the same line.

Hi, Mary.  According to the log file, BOOKIE is using the
2-August-1989 base level of the online bookbuilding tools.

Is the solution to upgrade to the 27-Oct version? If so, I'll
send mail requesting that to BOOKIE::SYSTEM. 
231.4VAXUUM::UTTWed Nov 29 1989 07:235
    Yes, that's the solution. Note, however, that if you upgrade to
    the Oct 27 baselevel, you can only build V2-format books. That is,
    books that can be read only by the V2 Bookreader. (See note 64.10.)
