Hello Manohar,

Could you please send your current customization CSS and a small sample using the form https://www.oxygenxml.com/techSupport.html?
What oXygen are you using right now?

Many regards,
Dan

No, unfortunately the index must be placed in either frontmatter or backmatter, and those elements cannot be placed between chapters. I understand the first chapter plays a special role, is a kind of abstract. Why not placing in in the frontmatter, as an abstract? If you need more information about ...

Hello Chris, Thank you for sharing your code! So, whenever you have a paragraph that contains punctuation like column or comma, the next content (like images, or other content that may follow it) is kept on the same page with the paragraph. Is a nice example on how powerful is a combination of XSL a...

We will look into this, thank you for letting us know.
Dan

Such a complex situation... Glad you work it out!

I am not sure why this happens. You can try debugging the XSLT transformation with oXygen - it is a bit complicated to setup this, but here is how it may be done: The file you need to debug is: DITA-OT/plugins/com.oxygenxml.pdf.css/xsl/merged2merged/merged.xsl First, make a DITA transformation with ...

I am glad it worked! There are some ideas about updating specializations here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/specs/non-normative/migration-to-new-version.html If you need a DITA professional advice for this, please direct your questions to the dita-user mailing list. If you have other questions...

Hello, We implemented a restriction in the catalog resolver to avoid security issues like the transformation process reading files unrelated to the transformation. This is useful when you are using a DITA-OT in a context where the content may come from outside organization contributors. You can disa...

What PDF transformation are you using, the one based on XSL-FO or HTML5+CSS? For the later, please see the page breaking documentation topic: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... e_breaking

For the TOC you should see how the counters toc-section1 and toc-chapter-and-sections are used in the p-numbering-deep.css file (similar to section1 and chapter-and-section counters that are used for titles in the main content). The default numbering CSS file is located in: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/DITApl...

Depending on the args.css numbering parameter, one of the CSSs is used: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/DITA-OT3X/plugins/com.oxygenxml.pdf.css/css/print/p-numbering-shallow.css OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/DITA-OT3X/plugins/com.oxygenxml.pdf.css/css/print/p-numbering-deep.css Unfortunately, there are lots of CSS selector...

This is a very specific requirement. The solution is to reset the section1 counter to 0 by matching the topic chapter with a specific ID (or outputclass), or the first topic from that chapter. You need to do this in both the TOC and content counters, so you will need an outputclass set on the topicr...

I see from the image properties screenshot that the image is a perfect square, while in the CSS you are using slightly different values for the width and for the height. To get perfect alignment of graphical elements in the page, we recommend using a single background image for the entire page, as i...

Please note that the image path should be given as an absolute URI, like: file:/C:/temp/example.svg. It works also with relative paths, but it will solve them relative to the XML location.

There might be something that has changed in the DITA files (maybe something that is included from multiple maps). This is what you can try: 1. Copy your map and try to remove topic reference from it until this specific error disappears. Try to identify the specific topic that causes the problem. Cr...

Please see: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/22.1/ug-chemistry/topics/ch_pdf_output.html#ch_metadata__section_aqz_j2j_wz -oxy-pdf-meta-title It is used to extract the publication title. If this CSS selector matches multiple elements, only the first element in the document order will be used to...

One easy way to determine what causes the spacing and fix it in the CSS is to use the CSS inspector from the browser. The procedure is explained here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/22.1/ug-ope/topics/dcpp_debugging_the_css.html#dcpp_debugging_the_css If you still have problems please create...

Hi, I cannot reproduce the problem. Please check your customization CSS, maybe you have set a min-height that matches the steps. To test this, please add some text to the first item in the second case, and see what happens when the text wraps on multiple lines. If the space disappears, then probably...

We are not yet supporting the 'unset' CSS identifier. I added an issue, we will try to implement it. Until then, use an oxy_xpath as value for the default selectors: *[class ~= "front-page/front-page-title"] *[class ~= "topic/title"] { -oxy-pdf-meta-title: oxy_xpath(..); } *[class ~= "front-page/fro...

Hello Duncan, I think the problem comes from the usage of "page-break-before:avoid" property on "glossentry/glossterm" elements. Do you have something like this in your customization CSS? Please note that "glossentry/glossterm" elements are also inheriting the "topic/title" class, so another rule fr...

Yes, the DITA-OT has an attribute set defined for the paragraphs and blocks, in the commons-attr.xsl: <!-- paragraph-like blocks --> <xsl:attribute-set name="common.block"> <xsl:attribute name="space-before">0.6em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after">0.6em</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribut...

The only area that can display the footnotes is at the end of the page, there is no support for footnotes under the tables.
Many regards,
Dan

I recorded an improvement request for this.

Many regards,
Dan

I checked the DITA-OT stylesheets. Indeed, the steps element that contains a single item is transformed in a structure like: <section> <div class="li step p"> <span class="ph cmd">This is a command</span> </div> </section> This was in fact an improvement request: https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/i...

Hello, I see you are using the classical PDF transformation, based on XSL-FO, and you are trying to change the preface.xsl file from the DITA-OT PDF2 plugin. Here are some hints: - For complex documentation please use a bookmap instead of map. One way is to manually convert your maps to bookmaps, by...

I understand you are using an SVG that is embedded in your document, and you are trying to style it using a CSS customization. We will try to reproduce the problem on our side.

Many regards,
Dan

If you are using a DITA PDF transformation, you can simply use a bookmap instead of a map, and arrange the topics as you need in the preface element. For an example please see: https://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/bookmap.html If you are using other transformations please let us kno...

You can extract the desired meta information using oxy_xpath and use it in the cover page, or in synthetic pages.

Hello, I've reviewed the topic you referenced but couldn't see a fix to avoid the blank space between the topic title and the table. Please send us a sample (PDF and .style.xml file from the output folder) to the support@oxygenxml.com email address. We will try to see the exact situation. To overrid...

Publishing individual topics is always more tricky because there might be references that are not processed (especially if not having a key context for it). Anyway, with fix.external.refs.com.oxygenxml parameter it should work for simple cases. The other problem you noticed, the direct link to an im...
