which type? what element? two small questions
Forum topic: Submitted by ngn_at_ebbr on Tue, 2009-02-17 09:24.
Making yet another try at transforming a real document into DITA, with FrameMaker 8.0 and XML Mind to hand, and enjoying it no end!
Two questions so far:
which topic type
I have lists of roles and responsibilities, plus lists of working-groups and members: concept or reference? I'm inclined to say Reference, but would welcome advice
what element
Some of these bulleted lists need list paragraphs (:lp, and respectful greetings to Michael Priestley) Haven't found any explanation of whether/how DITA handles this
Thanks in advance for any hints and tips.

Thanks! I'll try that
Thanks! I'll try that paragraph-inside-bullet, though it sounds rather like mixing presentation and structure ;-}
As for the other half of the question, after looking a bit farther I have the feeling a reference topic is more for rigidly consistent information; so these lists of committee functions and members, which only achieve a fuzzy level of similarity, are perhaps better left as concepts.
what element.
