Topic titles in a header

[MyMoon]

Hi!
I've prepared stringsets for headers:

Code: Select all

*[class ~= "map/map"] >  

 *[class ~= "topic/topic"] > 

  *[class ~= "topic/topic"] >

   *[class ~= "topic/title"]   

    { 

     string-set: chaptertitle2 content() 

}



*[class ~= "map/map"] >  

 *[class ~= "topic/topic"] > 

  *[class ~= "topic/topic"] >

    *[class ~= "topic/topic"] >

     *[class ~= "topic/title"]   

    { 

     string-set: chaptertitle3 content() 

}

And assigned it to place:

Code: Select all

    @page :left {

        @top-right {

            content: string(maptitle) "\A" string(chaptertitle2) "\A" string(chaptertitle3);

            font-family: 'PT Sans', PTSans, sans-serif !important;

            font-size:8pt;

            color:white;

        }

But it appears that 3-rd level topic's title repeats on pages of next chapter, with higher level. How is that possible? How to interrupt it?

You need to reset that string on chapters of higher level. See that a string-set may define multiple values at once.

For example in the default CSS we have a reset of the sectiontitle at each top level chapter title element:

Code: Select all

..

*[class ~= "topic/topic"][is-chapter]:not([is-part]) > *[class ~= "topic/title"] {

    string-set: chaptertitle " | " counter(chapter) " - " content(), sectiontitle "";

}

..

Probably it should be like:

Code: Select all

*[class ~= "map/map"] >

*[class ~= "topic/topic"] >

*[class ~= "topic/title"]

{

string-set: chaptertitle1 content(), chaptertitle2 "", chaptertitle3 "";

}





*[class ~= "map/map"] >

*[class ~= "topic/topic"] >

*[class ~= "topic/topic"] >

*[class ~= "topic/title"]

{

string-set: chaptertitle2 content(), chaptertitle3 "";

}

....

Many regards,

@Manohar_1024
Please change the string set definitions, or modify the headers directly, using the @page selectors:

Please read the entire page. Let me know if the documentation is not clear.

Many regards,

Thank you, I have gone through that,
But in header

Code: Select all

@top-right {

	    content: string(chaptertitle) ;

	    font-size: 10pt;}

Then i am getting 1| Introduction
But i do not want

1|

this part in my header
And for footer i want Chap.4 -Page 30 but note able to achieve that the below is the CSS code

Code: Select all

@bottom-right { 

        content: "Chap."counter(chapter)" - " "Page " counter(page);

        font-size: 10pt;}

i am getting Chap. -Page 30 in this manner if i use the above CSS
Please help me in this issue
Thank you.

[Dan]

You should change the stringset definition for chapter:

In your case you can remove the

Code: Select all

" | " counter(chapter) 

from the string-set:

Code: Select all

*[class ~= "map/map"] *[class ~= "topic/topic"][is-chapter]:not([is-part]) > *[class ~= "topic/title"] {

    string-set: chaptertitle " | " counter(chapter) " - " content(), sectiontitle "" !important;

}

Many regards,
Dan

Thanks Dan,
It is working for header
But in footer i am still not able to get the Chapter number like i previously mentioned
Chap.4- Page 13... in this manner.
Thank You

[Dan]

You should use the string defined earlier, like:

Code: Select all

@page {

...

@bottom-right {

  content: string(chaptertitle)" - " "Page " counter(page);

  font-size: 10pt;

}

..

}

Please read more information about string sets here (this is the userguide for the Oxygen PDF Chemistry engine that is used by the DITA PDF CSS transformation): https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... aid-title2
Although the examples are for HTML, they can be easily changed for DITA.

Many regards,
Dan
