I have a bunch of tables that should be sorted. Some table rows are included via conrefs. These rows are not considered properly -- their content starts with A, but the remain at the bottom of the list. Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you for your help

Dear Costin,
yes, there are relationship tables.
However, I couldn't find an entry that would explain this behavior to me.
The files are on their way.
Thank you
Susanne

Hi everyone, for some reason, the very last topic in my output still contains two navigation links (previous and next). The next button leads to a seemingly random topic in the first third of the help output. I've searched my project for the file name of that random topic, and I can't find a relatio...

Thank you for the quick help

I am trying to set up some Schematron tests for our DITA documentation, and I am new to Schematron. I want the validation to report an error for draft-comment elements whose translation attribute has not been explicitly set to no. This is my pattern: <pattern id="not_excluded_from_translation"> <rul...

Hi Radu, thanks for the warning - no ditavalref for now. I Believe that the root map feature would not help in our case - we would just swap one thing to remember against another. However, there might be one exception: What would happen if the root map is always set to <Current map>? As for the plug...

We manage the DITA documentation for a set of related products in one Oxygen project. The project contains one ditaval file per product and output format. The ditaval files are referenced in the transformation scenarios assigned to the respective bookmaps, so the output is always based on the correc...

I am trying to customize WebHelp Responsive output from DITA maps using Oxygen 20.1 and the blue tree template as the starting point. My output already looks pretty good, but there are still some problems left. The output contains some collapsible elements such as sections, examples and tables (anyt...

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.dtd"> This DOC...

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>\<Language>\<MapName>.ditamap, where the main...

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 think the conref fi...

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="1"> <tgroup cols="4"> <colspec colname="col...

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

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. After document translation (and after ev...

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 applied the ...

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...
