Detecting WebHelp transformation in DITA-OT plugin

[HomeGoods]

Hi,
I have a DITA-OT plugin that is installed via this extension point:

Code: Select all

<feature

        extension="dita.xsl.xhtml"

        file="my-custom.xsl" />

In that "my-custom.xsl", I want to know if it is currently running for WebHelp transformation or not. What do you think is the most reliable way?
If possible, I like to detect its type (Classic or Responsive).

Hi,

Yes, it is possible by creating the 'TRANSTYPE' XSLT parameter in your custom stylesheet. It's value will be assigned either to 'webhelp-responsive' for Webhelp Responsive transformation or to 'webhelp' for Webhelp Classic transformation.

Code: Select all

<xsl:param name="TRANSTYPE"></xsl:param>

  <xsl:template ...>

    <xsl:choose>

      <xsl:when test="$TRANSTYPE = 'webhelp-responsive'">

        Webhelp Responsive transformation

      </xsl:when>

      <xsl:when test="$TRANSTYPE = 'webhelp'">

        Webhelp Classic transformation

      </xsl:when>

      <xsl:otherwise>

        Other type of XHTML transformation

      </xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose>
