Re: Suddenly can't drag to move tags

Thanks Radu, I rebooted the workstation and the problem vanished. It was only affecting Oxygen, I had checked and I was still able to drag using other applications, just not in Oxygen. In any case restarting seems to have fixed it, I can now drag tags around as before. These workstations are a pain ...

Suddenly can't drag to move tags

I've always been able to drag DITA elements around in Author mode but suddenly for the past few days I can't. Nothing happens when I try to move a <li> tag by dragging it for example, I have to copy and paste it instead. I just reset the global options hoping I had inadvertently changed some setting...

Re: Modifying base-font in Apache FOP PDf transform

Thanks, that was a good idea to test using monospace. It didn't change anything either, so I investigated and finally discovered that I was pointing to a DITA-OT in a slightly different location. We have a small complication in that we can't modify anything in the Program Files directories, so I had...

Modifying base-font in Apache FOP PDf transform

A few years back I made the following note to myself in the DITA-OT file commons.attr.xsl, as a reminder about how I had changed the PDF output base font to sans-serif: <!-- added font-family attribute to change the base font to sans serif --> <xsl:attribute-set name="base-font"> <xsl:attr...

Re: DITA to Confluence -- Dita2go

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, we were actually trying to use Dita2go and are giving up on it, which is a long story.

For the rest I'll reply in the support form with a mockup example, something I shouldn't put here in the public form.

Thanks,

Re: DITA to Confluence -- Dita2go

Okay thanks Radu,

I have another quick question, have you or anyone done output as Word .doc/.docx, with images inline?

I can see RTF as a transformation format and it works, but without images embedded.

Thanks,

Has anyone had any success converting or publishing DITA to Confluence, specifically curious if anyone has used Dita2go for this?

Re: product name not being picked up in Infocenter

Sorry, small correction: That's called the plugin.properties file. It's produced as part of the product plugin. The template seems to be called eclipse.properties, but the output text in it all matches the output in the plugin.properties file.
