[oXygen-user] copying tables from other sources

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Don,

What version of Oxygen are you using?
By default Oxygen 17.0 prefers to paste tables as CALS tables, even when 
pasting inside a DITA reference-type topic.
If you are using Oxygen 15.2 or older you can edit the XSLT stylesheet:

> OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\resources\xhtml2reference.xsl

and remove or comment from it the XSLT template element:

>     <xsl:template match="e:table[
>                                             $context.path.names.sequence[1] = 'reference'
>                                             or ($context.path.names.sequence[1] = 'dita'
>                                                 and $context.path.names.sequence[2] = 'reference')]"
>             priority="1">
>         <properties>
>             <xsl:apply-templates mode="reference"/>
>         </properties>
>     </xsl:template>

Regards,
Radu
