Bob, I finally took some time to look at the Word document you distributed with our email below. I like it but I have a few issues. My biggest problem is that "Usage", "Type", "Format", "Default", "Description" are really not the same categories as "Parameter", "Required", "Usage Rules", "Other Notes", "Examples", yet you used these in the same formatting level, in italics. In addition, if I remember correctly, some of these have their own rules about being required or not, for example, "Format" is optional after 5.1(? can't remember the rules now). Also, I am always confused by "Value", because I never know what it refers to, a "literal constant" or the keyword "Value". Otherwise I like the systematic format a lot... Thanks, Arpad ==================================================================== -----Original Message----- From: ibis-editorial-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ibis-editorial-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bob Ross Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 12:26 PM To: ibis-editorial@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ibis-editorial] IBIS-AMI Reserved_Parameter Draft Template (Sect. 6c) Editing Group: Attached is a draft template for Section 6c Reserved parameters that is modeled after the Keyword template - for group and Lou's consideration concerning Section 6c reformatting. This template just reformats Version 5.0 text into a "Version 5.1" document as is. But it does contain a Version field for Sub-version specific changes. Since Version 5.1 will now contain Reserved_parameter and other changes (Including the AMI_Version), the version references would be modified. For example, all "after [IBIS Ver] 5.1" references to "after [IBIS Ver] 5.0". Also [IBIS Ver] 5.2 would change to [IBIS Ver] 5.1.
