Need a little help with an EDD Context Rule

[ohne_hosen]

FM 2017 / DITA 1.3

EDD is ditabase.edd.fm, most of which is stock standard, except I am working with a flattened copy (text insets converted to text).

I have a problem with output and I'm hoping the community can give me a little nudge toward the correct context rules to specify here.

I noticed that on output, my figure titles don't format correctly in at least one circumstance (topic type is TASK):

<steps>

<step>

<cmd></cmd>

<info><fig><title>Title Here</title><image href="foo" /></fig></info>

</step>

</steps>

This is the required structure to get a figure into a step. The problem I have on output is that the figure title comes in with the wrong paragraph style, namely, step.info.begin.

For element <title>, the EDD says

If context is: (fig | figgroup)

Use paragraph format: figure.title

(etc., the point is I haven't touched it)

For element <info>, the EDD says

Format rules for first paragraph in element

If context is: step

Use paragraph format: step.info.begin

(etc., again, haven't touched it)

So it looks to me like the <info> rule is overriding the <title> rule, and I'm having some trouble conceiving a context rule to fix it. When I say I haven't touched anything, that's not strictly true; I have tried to specify this particular context but it hasn't worked, so I reverted my changes. I also tried moving the title rules in case it was an order-of-application thing, but that didn't help either.

I've made a bunch of context rules work in the past. For some reason this one is giving me trouble. I can't seem to find the answer in the structured dev guide, either.

(edited to correct structure sample)

Did you check the DTD and loaded the element definition in the templates?

Ohne,

  You are correct that the first paragraph rule for info is overriding the text format rule for title. FM applies all applicable text format rules first and then applies applicable first and last paragraph rules.

  If the title will never contain more than one paragraph, a simple fix would be to change the text format rule to a first paragraph rule.

First paragraph rule worked; thank you!
