Replacing hints styles with custom hints

[mattwolfe]

I know I could replace the hints style that comes with Oxygen by replacing the hints.html file in \frameworks\dita\css\hints\, but I'd like way that I could point to an external location to pull in a custom hints file so users don't need to update a local version every time we make updates.

Is there a way to do that?

Hi,

Yes, it is possible. You'll have to change hints.css and specify a remote location for the hints file:

Code: Select all

hints {

  content: oxy_htmlContent(href, 'http://www.oxygenxml.com/hints.html', id, "div_id", width, 100%);

}

You could probably use the Find/Replace dialog to change all occurrences (there are quite a few).

Best regards,
Alex
