S1000D Complexity in a nutshell
- Wednesday, 19th November 2025
A Warning can be both inline AND referenced.
A referenced Warning can be referenced locally OR the reference can contain a reference to the Common Information Repository (CIR). A referenced Warning that contains a reference to the CIR can also contain a reference to a referenced Applicability which in turn can contain a reference to the CIR.
The references can be either implicit or explicit and change marking can occur at any point from the source reference going all the way back to the CIR
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more complex:
S1000D Issue 6 - PDF Page 371

Warnings must be the first item within that step/para.

(Same text can also be found in other issues of the S1000D spec. See S1000D Issue 4.2 - PDF Page 374 or S1000D Issue 2.3 - PDF Page 215)
This means we have to process referenced Warnings and inline Warnings together even though they occur in different places within the document structure.
We need to output:
- Warnings (referenced)
- Warnings (inline)
- Cautions (referenced)
- Cautions (inline)
Now and always - We have you covered!
We test and test and then test again to ensure we always have you covered!
