appropriate use of #tag and #attr

[David Austin]

After a discussion in today's drop in, I am recording this here for future reference:

If one includes 

<attr>data="/home/data"</attr>

in PreTeXt source, the HTML conversion produces the desired result.  In the latex conversion, however, you will see

@data="\slash{}home\slash{}data"

The #attr and #tag elements are not meant for assignments.  Instead, one should use the #c tag, such as

'Set the value of the attribute <c>data="/home/data"</c>'

Thanks, David, for your post. I'll go a step further.

<attr>data</attr> is the correct, and intended, use of this element.

I like to say "set the attribute <attr>data</attr> to the value <c>/home/data</c>".

And David's suggestion (all in a #c element, or maybe a #cd) also works.

There's some further technical discussion over on -dev.
