Refactoring topics using a custom doctype/framework

[sabinebennett]

Hi there,
We're using a custom DITA framework with custom DTDs and DOCTYPE declarations.
When use Oxygen to refactor let's say a concept topic into a task topic, Oxygen adds the default OASIS Doctype declaration at the top of the refactored topic. Is there a way to customize the refactor action in our custom DITA framework to use our custom DTDs?

Cheers,
Sabine

Hello Sabine,

The topic type conversions are based on XSLT stylesheets.
For example this stylesheet "OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/refactoring/dita-files-conversion-stylesheets/convert-resource-to-task-entrypoint.xsl" defines three values for the root element name, DOCTYPE public and system IDs:

Code: Select all

    <xsl:variable name="root-element" select="'task'"/>
    <xsl:variable name="public-literal-target" select="'-//OASIS//DTD DITA Task//EN'"/>
    <xsl:variable name="system-literal-target" select="'task.dtd'"/>

So one could (besides making direct changes to the stylesheets) for example copy our XML refactoring actions for conversions and create their own with changed values.

Radu
