Hi, I am trying to create PDF output with topic numbers, and the PDF bookmarks are still incorrectly numbered if a bookmap contains parts. In this case, the chapters are assigned the number of the previous part: VII Part Heading VII Chapter Heading 1.1 Topic Heading ... VII Another Chapter Heading 2...

Hi Radu, I noticed conversion problems for the first time a couple of months ago. Not with a CHM conversion, but with a PDF conversion that still worked fine a few days earlier. There were no intentional changes to the external DITA OT folder or to the Oxygen catalog at that time - I was only workin...

Hi, I am trying to migrate some transformation scenarios from DITA OT 1.7 to DITA OT 2.*. The PDF conversion is working, but the CHM conversion doesn't. I have a huge bookmap that can be converted to PDF and to Webhelp und to CHM using DITA OT 1.7 and our custom adjustments. However, both the intern...

For reasons I cannot understand, this problem seems to be caused by the DOCTYPE declaration. This DOCTYPE declaration causes a problem (though it is perfectly valid IMO): <!DOCTYPE concept PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA 1.1 Concept//EN" "http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/OS/dtd/concept...

Hi, I am trying to create HTML Help using a configuration that has been in place for years: ⋅ Oxygen XML Editor, installed to C:\Oxygen XML Editor 17 ⋅ An external DITA OT, installed to C:\DITA-OT1.7 ⋅ Ditamaps located in the path C:\DITA_Subversion\<ProdGroup>\<Languag...

Thanks a lot.
I removed the colname attributes from the invalid cells, and now my table is valid again.
Kind regards

I often use "Find/Replace in Files" with the scope "Current DITA map hierarchy". However, I am often not too happy with the results. We use conrefs from a file that is not added as a topicref to the DITA map. Unfortunately, oXygen never finds the search text in the conref file. I...

I have a table in which the first cell of some rows spans the first three columns. This causes validation errors in Oxygen 19, and I don't know how to fix them. Here is an excerpt of the code: <table colsep="1" frame="all" id="bk1004692" pgwide="1" rowsep=&quo...

Hi Radu,
my idea was to select the parent topic, but it might actually be better (more flexible) to select the siblings.
I've prepared two sample maps (German and English version) and will now send them to support.
Thank you very much for your help
Susanne Muris

Thank you for the workaround, it worked nicely.

In several cases, we have topics in certain parts of our DITA maps that are sorted alphabetically by the topic title. Examples include: ⋅ Glossary lists ⋅ Command line references ⋅ Reference information about specific object types Our documentation is multilingual. Afte...

Our DITA-based documentation is provided in several languages. In one of the documents, I have a lengthy CALS table with four columns. Only the following must be translated: - the table header - the last column To set translate="no" for most of the entries, I selected a table column and ap...

Thanks, that works nicely. What a useful transformation .
Kind regards

Hi Radu, thanks - unfortunately, there are more adjustments required. In documents without parts, the numbering is fine. However, in documents with parts, the numbering is like this: Part II Chapter 5 Topic 2.1.1 Topic 2.1.2 I believe it should be like this: Part II Chapter 5 Topic 5.1 Topic 5.2 I'm...

Hi, I have a bookmap that contains references to other maps, and I am looking for an XPATH expression that gives me the parent chapter for a given topicref. Can I test this in the XPATH toolbar in oXygen? The bookmap is open in the DITA Maps Manager, and the scope is set to Current DITA map hierarch...

Hi,
I added one more condition to the xsl:choose:

<xsl:when test="self::*[contains(@class, ' bookmap/part ')]"/>
<!-- Do not add numbers for parts -->

Maybe other DITA users want numbered headings too.

Kind regards

Hi Geert,
I don't know whether that's the best way to handle this, but I have my plugins in Subversion, and I use SVN externals for files that are in both plugins.
HTH
Susanne

Thank you for the quick fix!

I've been testing the numbering plugin com.oxygenxml.pdf2.topic.numbering-master. It almost does what I need :wink: However, there is one problem: the numbers are also added to elements that are already numbered by default. For example, chapters are then numbered twice, like so: Chapter 1: 1 Introdu...

Hi Radu,

for various reasons we couldn't update to the new release yet.
Meanwhile I am preparing the update and the first thing I tried after installing the new version is this feature - it's exactly what we needed and already making things easier than before, so thanks a lot.

Kind regards

Susanne

Hi Radu, at the moment, the Suite Solutions packager works with my maps. I checked this several times by validating the source and the copy. Another person from the Yahoo group reported problems - maybe because they use keyrefs and we don't use them (yet), but that's just a guess. The second package...

I am looking for an option to export all of the local files used and referenced in a ditamap to another directory, including referenced graphics, coderefs, conrefs etc. The feature is required in order to prepare ditamaps for translation. Currently, I use a packager from Suite Solutions for this pur...

Much better - thanks!

Awesome - thanks!

Hi Radu, And you are using the SVN Client which is bundled with Oxygen, right? No, I don't. At the moment, I am using Tortoise. This client is widely used in our company and I had it already before I started using oXygen. I may have missed something, but the Synchro SVN Client looked like an externa...

I have just migrated a Word document to DITA and I am also migrating a FrameMaker book to DITA. For the Word doc, I used the new rename resource feature for the first time, and I really like this feature. Unfortunately, I will not be able to use it that often (actually, only in the migration context...

Thanks a lot for sharing this!
I am supposed to include synonyms in glossaries, so this could be very helpful.

Hi Radu, I do have oXygen 14.1 and found the transformation. It worked straight away, so easy :D . Before that, I had already made more attempts to fix start.cmd. But this does not only require to modify Ant home, Saxon is also somewhere else, and then you need a different version of Saxon. This get...

I am trying to convert a Word document to DITA using the OT integrated with oXygen und the DITA4Publishers plugin. Since I dont't know how to set up a transformation scenario for this, for a start, I'm trying to call the plugin via the command line. The start.cmd file in the oXygen directory sets AN...

I was looking for a less intrusive way to remove the footer. Setting the following in my custom stylesheet seems to work:

My own footer uses a different class.
