Re: Odd behaviour with Oxygen on Wayland

It seems that gnome and Oxygen use the same shortcut. Have you tried changing the shortcut in either gnome or Oxygen?

Re: Are there best practices for setting up Oxygen projects in languages other than English?

Hi, We have a quite complex Fluenta environment and have manuals with 25 languages (mixing rtl and ltr languages). We are not using the Fluenta addon, but integrated a separate Fluenta instance via Oxygen Author actions and Ant scripts. These Ant scripts do things for us, Fluenta does not do. We don...

Re: Deleted Content / Search Results

I had this issue before. You maybe want to delete all the content of the output folder before you publish the webhelp again. Otherwise deleted DITA files remain in the output folder as HTML and are picked up by the search engine. Further on, your DITA Map needs to be stored in a superior directory. ...

Re: Creating a Definition List/Glossary in PDF

A terminology is not something like a chapter which is meant to be used in a document. It is a reflection of the concepts and terms you use in your organization, including unwanted synonyms and covering multiple languages.

Re: Creating a Definition List/Glossary in PDF

Unfortunately I don't have code to change the appearance of the glossary. Why do you use the old XHTML? Why not the Oxygen Webhelp or at least HTML5? If you are more interested building a terminology instead of a glossary, try my terminology plug-in. You'll find the link on my website.

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
