Re: DocBook to DITA transform creates empty <dita>

Seems no one knows for sure which version of DocBook the SolBook DTD is based on. The DTD was created a long time ago, so I'd guess that it was based on DocBook 4 (or maybe even an earlier version). No one knows.

Hopefully you received the files that I sent. I sent them about 45 minutes ago.

Re: DocBook to DITA transform creates empty <dita>

Hello Radu, I'm using oXygen 18.1. To answer your question about which version of DocBook we're using, I've had to ask the writing team. I personally don't know.

Re: Adding a topicref with the topicID

Thank you! FYI In my earlier post, I should've included the following info as part of the rationale for us including @ids in all references: We very likely will not be changing our "best practice" of including topic ids, even though (as Radu states) omitting topic ids in a reference makes ...

Re: Adding a topicref with the topicID

Being able to select the topic @id, if desired, would be a good thing :)
Thanks Radu.

Re: Adding a topicref with the topicID

I'm very new to oxygen and am only just now beginning to learn this tool. I've been messing with XML since the '98 and with DITA in particular since 2005. I have to admit, though, that not providing the option to add the ID seems a little presumptuous (if not arrogant) on the part of the oxygen crea...
