Hardwired term "Part"

type_defect | by cabo@tzi.org

The current code seems to assume an xref with an @relative always goes to a "Part" if not a "Section" or "Appendix". The correct word in my test case would be "subregistry".

Test case:

<xref section="senml-features" sectionFormat="of" target="IANA.senml" relative="#senml-features"/>

➔ [TXT, HTML]

   Part senml-features of [IANA.senml]

   <a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/senml#senml-features" class="relref">Part senml-features</a> of [<a href="#IANA.senml" class="xref">IANA.senml</a>]

Code:

File: writers/html.py
2809:116:            label = 'Section' if section[0].isdigit() else 'Appendix' if re.search(r'^[A-Z](\.|$)', section) else 'Part'
File: writers/text.py
4706:116:            label = 'Section' if section[0].isdigit() else 'Appendix' if re.search(r'^[A-Z](\.|$)', section) else 'Part'

Start with the xref label logic shown in writers/html.py around line 2809 and writers/text.py around line 4706, then trace how the section value is classified. Use the senml-features example as the regression case and verify that both TXT and HTML output use the intended label instead of the hardwired "Part".
