Switching DITA project in Oxygen Author to DITA 2.x

[ann.jensen]

Hi,
I have a DITA project in Oxygen XML Author based on DITA 1.8.
Because of issues I am having with reusing content I would like to switch the project over to use DITA 2.x.
I have changed the selection under Options-->Preferences but am getting the following transformation error when transforming to WebHelp

Code: Select all

An empty sequence is not allowed as the value of variable $colspec

.
I see the problem described here

Code: Select all

https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/1870

but am not sure what steps I should take.

Any advice appreciated,
Regards,
Ann

Hi Ann,

That particular issues seems to have been fixed prior to the DITA OT 2.1.2 which is bundled with Oxygen 17.1.
Could you zip in a file the entire content of the DITA OT ANT console view and attach it to an email (support@oxygenxml.com) ?
I will look into it and try to give you a precise workaround.

Regards,
Radu

Hi Ann,

Based on the console output you sent, I managed to reproduce the issue with a small DITA table example so I added a DITA OT bug here:

https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/2212

but as I said, if you can send me a sample topic via email I could try to look into it on my side and see if it is the precise case that I reported.

Radu
