Webhelp output - removing horizontal line above the footer

[Rodrik]

In the webhelp output there is a fine grey horizontal line that appears at the bottom of each page (and above the footer if there is one). It is a div with a border-top:

Code: Select all

<div style="border-top-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-top-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid;"><!-- --></div>

I'd appreciate if you could tell me where this comes from and how to get rid of it.

Hello,

What Oxygen version do you use? In version 15.2 the horizontal line is created by the element

Code: Select all

<div style="border-top: 1px solid #EEE;"><!-- --></div>

and you remove this element by commenting out or removing the following line in file [Oxygen-15.2-install-dir]\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\oxygen-webhelp\resources\css\webhelp_topic.css:

Code: Select all

border-top:1px solid #eee;

and also the following line in file [Oxygen-15.2-install-dir]\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\oxygen-webhelp\resources\skins\desktop\toc_driver.js:

Code: Select all

$('#frm').contents().find('.navfooter').before('<div style="border-top: 1px solid #EEE;"><!-- --></div>').hide();

Starting with the next version of Oxygen we will make that customization easier by adding a class attribute to this div element so that a simple display:none added in the CSS file (or even in a custom CSS file set in the args.css parameter of the DITA transformation) will be enough for hiding it.

Thank you very much for your help -- I am using 15.2. Adding a class attribute would help -- I've been trying to restrict my customisation of the output to CSS changes as far as possible.

Another one that you might want to take a look at is the <div> that encloses individual related links, which also has no class attribute.

Hi Rodrik,

We will also add a class attribute on the <div> element of each individual related link. You can implement that in version 15.2 by adding the following template in the file [Oxygen-install-dir]\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\xsl\dita\desktop\fixup.xsl:

Code: Select all

  <xsl:template match="//*[contains(@class,'relinfo')]/div

                        | //*[contains(@class,'linklist')]/div" 

                      mode="fixup_desktop">

    <xsl:copy>

      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*" mode="fixup_desktop"/>

      <xsl:choose>

        <xsl:when test="@class">

          <xsl:attribute name="class"><xsl:value-of select="concat(@class, ' related_link')"/></xsl:attribute>

        </xsl:when>

        <xsl:otherwise>

          <xsl:attribute name="class">related_link</xsl:attribute>

        </xsl:otherwise>

      </xsl:choose>

      <xsl:apply-templates mode="fixup_desktop"/>

    </xsl:copy>

  </xsl:template>
