Re: Convert > to > with Smart Paste (Docbook)

I don't know that it's a feature useful enough to be worth implementing for everyone. And I plan on telling the person using this workflow to just use a regular expression to achieve the correct result. But I'd hoped there might be an easy way to implement a customization for this and save them a st...

Convert > to > with Smart Paste (Docbook)

I seem to recall that the Smart Paste feature in earlier versions of OxgyenXML would convert both < to < and > to > when pasting in Author mode from Word. I'm using 19 now, and only the < is being converted to <. I realize that you don't NEED the > to convert since it doesn't invalidate the XML, but...

My CSS stylesheets make use of some CSS3 paged media module properties and selectors as well as a properties that are specific to my software. When editing my CSS in Oxygen, I get a ton of errors and warnings because of this. It makes CSS validation not useful. I saw your documentation for adding cu...

XHTML5 Pretty Print

Hi, I'm trying out some XHTML5 workflows, coming from DocBook. When I work in DocBook, the pretty print (Format and Indent) feature is incredibly helpful for navigating my documents. However, I'm struggling with the output of this same feature in XHTML5. Many block elements are being running togethe...

In order to keep my files simple, I'd like to add 2 stylesheets to my epub (generated from DocBook via the ANT transform). One stylesheet will override a few lines in the much larger second (this keeps me from having to maintain 2 complete stylesheets). I know how to get my custom stylesheet into th...

Re: "missing cover" when creating Kindle file from epub

Thank you for your help, Dan. Implementing your suggestion did fix the ambiguity, but it replaced the xhtml namespace in the meta tag with the OPF namespace, which still breaks the Kindle conversion. However, I was able to get it to work by changing the xsl:element tag for meta to <opf:meta> (as you...

Re: Can I use entities and xincludes in the same XML file?

Thanks, Adrian. That's what I thought. Using xinclude to substitute for characters would be really cumbersome, but I like using xinclude for large files. I'm glad to see they work okay together.

Thanks for your response.

That's not the issue. I did double check, and the XSL URL is referring to the stylesheet I want. But that stylesheet has an import, and it is the import that is failing. The problem is that the relative path to the import file is fine: <xsl:import href="docbook-xsl-ns-1.76.1/html/docbook.xsl&qu...

Re: DocBook to Epub cover tweaks

I was able to get the template in that removes "cover-image" successfully. Changing the xsl:if that handles filenaming might be beyond my current XSLT skills. I'll keep poking at it.

Thank you for the help.
