Modular DITAVAL

[Sano]

Hi,
we run a very large set of filter attributes used in multible manually administrated DITAVAL files.
For efficient oragnisation we want to reuse some DITAVAL prop element sets.
I tryed to integrate a dtd entity in the DITAVAL files linking to a external txt with a reusable set of prop-Elements.
For this I have integrated a doctype declaration in the ditaval files

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE val [

<!ENTITY includeProps SYSTEM "includeProps.txt">

]>

and a instance of the entity

Code: Select all

&includeProps;

The includeProps.txt looks like this

Code: Select all

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-zpa"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-video-port"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-pc"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-pc-mainboard"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-pc-optical"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-pc-port"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-pc-card"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-display"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-video-controller"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-video-controller-feat"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-ui-element"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-ui-io"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-service-element"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-service-access"/>

    <prop action="exclude" att="rm-feature-screens"/>

DITA-OT1.8.5 pdf2 transformation runs successfull but the oxygen 17.0 (author mode) filtering preview does not work anymore.
How can I reuse DITAVAL props without loosing the powerfull filtering preview in Oxygen?

thanks for your help!

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this. Indeed, there is a problem with entity resolve in ditaval files. We will solve this and we will let you know when this will be available.

Best regards,
