Confusing use of ... part 2 #21

Open JodyLorah opened 3 years ago

JodyLorah commented 3 years ago

In the UG, it is shown that … means a certain field can be used more than once.

I dont think thats the case for this example given in the DG. This happens several times and I shall leave it here. Don't want to penalise y'all too many times :)

That definition of the ellipsis is meant for the user guide, not for the developer guide. For the developer guide, it is clear what the ellipsis means.

:question: Issue duplicate status

Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)

Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]


:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: That is even worse, since you are using a symbol that you did not explain in the DG. Ellipses, as shown in both the UG and DG have different meanings, making it confusing for the user especially since it is not explained in the DG what the ellipsis is for. You cannot assume the reader knows which meaning you are trying to implement.
