[oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-12915] Customizing Batch Document conversion from Word to DITA

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Cosmin Duna)]

Hi,
I'm sorry, but currently, the add-on does not support setting an 
additional XSLT processing file. We do have an internal issue logged for 
this and I've added your feedback to it to help prioritize it.
As you suggested, the only workaround at the moment is to post-process 
the resulting DITA documents using a custom refactoring operation, like 
in this example: 
https://blog.oxygenxml.com/topics/migrating_word_to_dita_bdc/frequently_asked_questions.html#word-to-dita-frequently-asked-questions__how-to-configure-mapping-when-wanted-element-doest-exist-in-html

Regarding the issue with the image being outside the fig element, I was 
unable to replicate this problem. The resulting DITA document should 
look like this:
         <fig id="figureID-figure_flower">
             <title>Figure Flower</title>
             <image href="media-image/image1.jpg">
                 <alt>A white flower with yellow center.</alt>
             </image>
         </fig>
Could you please provide us with a sample where this problem occurs?

Best regards,
Cosmin
