Print glossdefs in parent topic?

[ashleybrown415]

Hi! I'd like to print my glossdefs in a parent topic along with the glossterms. Is that possible?

Thanks!

Hi Ashley,

How exactly are you linking to your glossary entries from the DITA Map?
If you are using the glossref element you should also set the print="yes" attribute on it because by default it is configured not to show up when the content is printed.

Hi Radu! My ditamap includes the glossrefs as children of a topicref, for which I have set the print attribute to yes. The terms themselves print on the title topic page, but the definitions don't. I'd like the definitions to print as well. Is this possible?

Thanks!
Ashley

Hi Ashley,

I would need more details about this. For example a small snippet of DITA content from which I could see how the glossentry's are referenced in the DITA Map.
Or you could create a sample DITA project (map + one or two topics) and send it to us (support@oxygenxml.com).

Radu

Hi Radu, here you go!

Code: Select all

<map title="Terms" print="yes">

 <title>Localytics Terms</title>

 <topicref href="Terms/terms-title.dita">

  <glossref keys="session" href="Terms/Session.dita" print="yes" toc="yes" linking="normal"/>

  <glossref keys="event" href="Terms/event.dita" print="yes" toc="yes" linking="normal"/>

  <glossref keys="attr" href="Terms/attribute.dita" print="yes" toc="yes" linking="normal"/>

  <glossref keys="dime" href="Terms/dimension.dita" print="yes" toc="yes" linking="normal"/>

  <glossref keys="ltv" href="Terms/ltv.dita" print="yes" toc="yes" linking="normal"/>

  <glossref keys="funn" href="Terms/funnel.dita" print="yes" toc="yes" linking="normal"/>

  <glossref href="Terms/cohort.dita" keys="coho" print="yes" toc="yes" linking="normal"/>

  <glossref href="Terms/scope.dita" keys="scope" print="yes" toc="yes" linking="normal"/>

  <glossref href="Terms/deep-link.dita" keys="deep" print="yes" toc="yes" linking="normal"/>

 </topicref>

</map>

Hi Ashley,

I made a small sample DITA Map with the content like:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd">

<map title="Terms" print="yes">

 <title>Localytics Terms</title>

 <glossref href="Terms/deep-link.dita" keys="deep" print="yes" toc="yes" linking="normal"/>

</map>

and the deep-link.dita glossentry having the content:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE glossentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Glossary//EN" "glossary.dtd">

<glossentry id="glossentry_gb4_pmn_yr">

    <glossterm>abcdef</glossterm>

    <glossdef>the glossdef</glossdef>

</glossentry>

I published to PDF using the default publishing we ship with Oxygen, the entire glossentry content (term and definition) was printed in the PDF.
If you don't reproduce the same behavior with by samples, maybe you have PDF customizations which altered the publishing in this regard.
Or maybe I did not properly understand your original problem. If so, please give me more details about what you would like the PDF to contain.

Radu
