Re: NPE / How can i locate an error in CSS Stylesheets?

Hi Julien,

thanks for the quick response. I will check and correct the CSS Stylesheets.

However, errors like this should not lead to an Nullpointer Exception, but to an error message.

Thanks again, Frank

Does AI Positron support more than DITA?

Hi,

is AI Positron restricted to DITA, or can it also be used for DocBook or NISO-STS Documents?

Re: Oxygen Feedback for DocBook

Thank you Alin.

I see that WebHelp for DocBook is deprecated in Oxygen 26. Can i conclude that Oxygen Feedback will be available for DITA alone in the future, and not for DocBook anymore?

Re: XProc does not process XInclude in Oxygen 25.1

Considering again. i don't think its a bug, because there is a XProc 1.0 standard step for xinclude.

But there is at least a difference between the 24 version (which did not require the p:xinclude step) and 25.1 (which does).

Thanks,
