[oXygen-user] Catalog Resolution for DITA conref

[Radu Coravu]

Dear Paul,

Thank you for contacting us.

Where are you referring the catalog from?
Adding the catalog in the Oxygen catalogs list is not enough for a 
successful transformation.

Oxygen uses the DITA Open tooolkit 1.4.2.1 located in 
"OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT" to transform DITA Maps to 
various output formats.
The DITA OT ANT transformations use as catalog the file 
"catalog-dita.xml" so you should probably add at the end of that file a 
next catalog entry like:

<nextCatalog catalog="../../../relative/path/to/your/catalog.xml"/>

I think it would be better if you ask the DITA OT makers on the users list:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/
if referencing content through catalog is supported by them and how it 
can be accomplished.

Regards,
Radu
