Add multiple attributes to element via conversion table?

Hi...

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question, but am looking for validation.

Is it possible to add multiple attribute values to an element using a conversion table? The following conversion table creates the <some-elem> element with the @attrname attribute set to "attrval" .. but what if I wanted to set two attributes? I tried this .. some-elem[attrname="attrval"][otherattrname="attrval2"] .. but the second definition was ignored. Is there any way to do this (with conversion tables)?

Wrap this objectIn this elementWith this qualifier
P:some-para-tagsome-elem[attrname="attrval"]



Thanks!

Scott,

The structured apps reference says to separate the two attribute assignments with an ampersand, as in

some-elem[atttrname="attrval" & otherattrname="attrval2"]

I have never done it, so it is not tested.

Thanks Van!

That certainly does work. You can even add more than two attributes with this technique! I can't tell you how many times I've read through the Structure App Dev Guie, and never seen that.

Cheers!
