[silva-dev] Code-Source as Inline-Element

[Samuel Schluep]

Hello Silva Developers

Trying to create some advanced linking feature using Code Sources I 
eventually found out that Code Sources can only be used as block 
elements and that they cannot be nested into paragraphs, lists, etc. As 
I wanted these (specialized) links to be inside some text in a paragraph 
or a list this is bad news to me.

Is it true, that Code Sources can only be used as block elements? If 
yes, does anybody know a workaround?

As a feature request, I would suggest that Codes Sources should also be 
usable as inline elements. This might greatly enhance the potential of 
Silva for customized enhancements. For example I am thinking of a 
literature reference Code Source in a Silva Document, that might work 
together with a bibliography entry content type to produce 
bibliographies automatically. Or a similar idea is a glossary reference 
Code Source, which automatically creates a link to a glossary entry (or 
even creates some JavaScript code for a pop-up window to display the 
glossary entry).

Best regards
Sam
