Accessing a transformation scenario parameter in a plugin bu

[Rodrik]

I've added the following parameter to a transformation scenario:

args.page.size with two possible values: A4 and letter.

I then added the following to C:\Program Files (x86)\Oxygen XML Editor 15\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\build_template.xml:

Code: Select all

<target name="transform.topic2fo.init">

    

...

	

    <condition property="args.page.size" value="">

      <not><isset property="args.page.size"/></not>

    </condition>



...   

    

</target>

And this:

Code: Select all

<target name="transform.topic2fo.main">



...

      <param name="antArgsPageSize" expression="${args.page.size}"/> 

...

</target>

This allows me to use the antArgsPageSize parameter in my plug-in. However, I would prefer to be able to do so without altering the org.dita.pdf2\build_template.xml file. Is there some way I can make similar changes to my build template file, which imports the org.dita.pdf2\buildxml file. My build file currently is as follows:

Code: Select all

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<project xmlns:dita="http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net" name="com.xxx.pdf-entersekt">

  

  <import file="${dita.plugin.org.dita.pdf2.dir}/build.xml"/>

  

  <target name="dita2pdf-entersekt.init">    

    <property name="customization.dir" location="${dita.plugin.com.xxx.pdf-xxx.dir}/cfg"/>

    <property name="args.chapter.layout" value="BASIC" />

    <property name="args.bookmark.style" value="COLLAPSED" />

    <property name="args.gen.task.lbl" value="true" />   

  </target>  

   

  <target depends="dita2pdf-xxx.init, dita2pdf2" name="dita2pdf-xxx" />

</project>

If you want to add a new parameter to the transform.topic2fo.main task you will have to add the parameter to that task in both files DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\build_template.xml and DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\build.xml. You can't avoid that because that is where the transform.topic2fo.main task is defined.
