Editorial review of ver7_0_181107.docx and the task checklist:
Michael M. showed the checklist. Bob said we could add the tree hierarchy,
would would
change page numbering. Michael M. said some tree editing was done in the July
27
document. Bob said the new tree is expanded now. He will send the new tree
text.
[AR] Bob Ross to send new tree hierarchy text to Michael Mirmak.
Michael M. showed ver7_0_181107.docx. He noted that parameter table 40 is in
alphabetical
order, whereas the other section tables have them in order of introduction.
The section
tables now have notes matching table 40. Checklist item 61 was marked as
completed.
Michael M. said item 66 was done, and this was marked as such.
Michael M. said item 67 was done, and this was marked as such.
Michael M. said item 68 had been done some time ago. All of the table numbers
are
MS-Word captions, so they would automatically update. The same was true for
section
headers. A problem with incorrect section numbers was fixed. We verified that
table
numbers are still searchable.
Item 68 was left open until Michael M. could check for completeness.
Item 70 is about section 2. BIRD196.1 had been added to the BIRD list.
Michael M. noted that there are now 17 new BIRDs listed.
Michael M. said item 71 was partially done, but dates usual relate to adoption.
That was likely to be 2019, so it needed to be left open.
Michael M. said item 72 might be considered done, but new clarification BIRDs
still could appear. Arpad suggested leaving it open, and we did.
Item 73 was about capitalization and cross references. Michael M. said
capitalization
had been fixed in the source text for section headings. This shows up in the
MS-Word navigation table and in the table of contents. Bob Ross said section
6.3 had
different indentation for unnumbered headings in the reference flows and
dependent
parameter sections. Michael M. said it would show up unnumbered in navigation
and
not at all in the table of contents. Bob said multilingual section 3 had
different
indentation from 6 for unnumbered headings. Michael M. said section 6 only
goes to
the 4th level, and headings there are not indented. Arpad suggested the
unnumbered
heading might be better not bold. A few options were tried. Indents were
removed,
and only lack of boldness indicated 5th level headings. Arpad noted that 10.2
had
backward indentation relative to a lower level heading after it. We decided
that
level two headings must not be indented, so that no headings would be indented.
Michael M. said we would need to consult with an expert to accomplish that
properly.
Bob said the issue about section heading font size and style was still open.
On item 73, Michael M. said there were few references to section 3, but more
references
to section 3.2. He fixed a section 3.2 reference problem. Arpad said there
was an
"item 0" reference on page 21. We determined that it should be item 3 and fixed
the reference. That required some experimentation. Michael M. searched for
and found
another "item 0" reference and fixed that. He found that "item 3" appeared
twice. These
became plain text. We examined all references to within section 3. Some plain
text
reference were changed to linked references. A few other small issues were
fixed.
Michael Mirmak to send out the latest draft and checklist [AR].
We agreed to next meet on Wednesday, November 14.
Arpad Muranyi moved to adjourn. Mike LaBonte seconded. The meeting adjourned
without
objection.
The next meeting will take place Wednesday, November 14, at 8 PM Pacific.
Open Technical Questions:
1. BIRD182: POWER and GND [Pin] signal_name as [Pin Mapping] bus_label
a. Is a bus_label created even if we don't have [Pin Mapping], [Bus Label],
or [Die Supply Pads] through the [Pin]?
b. Is a bus_label short created for legacy package models based on the
second column of [Pin] when we do not have a [Pin Mapping] entry?
