Numbering for WebHelp Responsive

Post by lee_12 »

Hi,

I'm currently trying to generate a webhelp for our docs using Oxygen XML Editor 22.1.
Here I have these two questions:

First one,
Capture1.png
Capture2.PNG
I want the topics from the second level on to be numbered, and the numbering reset for every second level topic. Just like what I drew in the capture. I find a parameter args.css.param.numbering in dita to PDF Transformation Parameters to control this, but no similar parameter for WebHelp Responsive. Is there any existing solution to do this?

The second, I want the right toc (topic toc) to show every step for a task, just like this example of the Oxygen Feeback official documentation: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... df_gmz_mmb
I wonder how you achieve this, because it seems the topic toc can only show the links of <section>, but the <section> element cannot be inserted in a task topic.
The only way I think can achieve this is to use a concept topic, and do as follows

Code: Select all

<section id="section_id1">
    <title>1. Do XXX</title>
</section>
<section id="section_id2">
    <title>2. Check XXX</title>
</section>
But this requires entering the step number manually, not generated automatically like using <steps> or <ol>. Is there other way to do this?

Hi lee,

Unfortunately, with the current implementation, it is not possible to have topics numbering.
And the topic you indicate in your post (https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... df_gmz_mmb) does not contain tasks, but sections, so we used the same strategy you already considered as a workaround, that is why they appear displayed in the right .
We also have a logged improvement request in our system, so I've also added your feedback on it.
We will notify this thread when / if any of the two implementations will become available.

Kind Regards,
