Re: [niso-sts] Defined terms within text

["Dorothée Stadler doro@xxxxxxxxxxx" <niso-sts-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,
I think that it would make sense to keep encoding similar things in the same
way: a cross-reference to a term is conceptually the same as a cross-reference
to a section, table etc. It references another part of the document, therefore
should use <xref>. I would suggest to allow btermb as a value for
@ref-type in NISO STS, or even open up @ref-type to allow any value (with a
list of recommended values). The same should be done for references to
abbreviations, which I would think will be quite common.

Mat, maybe you could use the value botherb for referencing terms now
(unless you use it in another context already), you would know itbs terms
for you and then you could update it if NISO is updated?

Kind regards

should only be used within <tbx:termEntry> (although it is valid elsewhere).
