Re: Oxygen XML Question For Newbie

If you would like to indent the text in PDF or HTML output, you need to style it with CSS. What you need to do and how this needs to be done depends on your output format and the technology you use, e.g. if you use an HTML+CSS based PDF output or an XSL:FO/FOP based output. You maybe should try the ...

Re: Illustrator (.ai) image not being converted with webhelp transform

We convert the files manually to SVG. Illustrator has an integrated script which allows this to be done in a batch Job. Another approach could be, to do this on the fly by using Inkscape and it's CLI, see https://gist.github.com/WebReflection/b5ab5f1eca311b76835c This could be adapted and done in th...

Re: Logo disappears in HTML output upon window resizing

Hello Tanja,
Please have a look at the original CSS file of your publishing template. You are very close to the solution.
There should be a wrapping CSS media query, which triggers the appearance of the logo. See https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp

Re: Fetch JSON from an API

Hi,
I'm not familiar with this extension. What we do is to download the JSON with curl from Apache Ant first. Then we convert the JSON to XML and then we operate normally on the XML. This is surely the slowest solution, but very easy to maintain.
Best regards

Hi,

You should create a Schematron rule and validate your map. The Schematron rule should use the document() function to step into all topics and validate the <shortdesc> elements.
