Nesting two different schemas within each other

[pkong]

I have an XML file type where, within certain elements, the content is 100% DITA with tables, rich text, etc. Is there a way to apply author mode transforms on the DITA content and nest it within CSS transforms of the larger file?

Hi,

How about in the CSS used to render the main XML document in the Author mode you import the CSS used for DITA? That CSS is located in:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/css_classed/dita.css

What is the correct syntax to import another .css? I've tried:
@import "c:/install_dir/..."; and oxygen gives the error: "unknown protocol: c"!

Hi,

The reference can either be a relative reference like:

Code: Select all

@import "../../path/to/dita.css"

or an absolute URL reference like:

Code: Select all

@import "file:/c:/install_dir/..."

If you want you can copy the entire contents of the folder OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/css_classed near your CSS file and make a relative reference to the dita.css.
