Thanks for your assistance - that seems an acceptable solution for now.

Re: Inserting figures

The schematron rule seems a sensible thing to start with - if only the Oxygen help actually stated how to locate the current Schematron file. I wasn't being sarcastic. The oxygen help doesn't tell you how to open the current Schematron file in order to edit it. https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions...

Inserting figures

When adding a figure, Oxygen will either insert the figure within tags (<p> <fig> </fig></p>) or outside tags (<p> </p><fig> </fig>, depending on the exact position of the cursor at the time of insertion. It isn't possible to opt for a position at insertion time, it depends on the precise location o...

custpdf not appearing unless plugin integrated

We have Oxygen 17.1. I need to use an external DITA-OT installation (DITA-OT 2.2.5 and possibly 2.3 in the near future) with a custom plugin for pdf. The problem is that without importing and integrating the plugin with the DITA-OT supplied with Oxygen, 'custpdf' does not appear on the DITA Transfor...

Re: keymap paths not resolving in Oxygen

Validation does not report any problem.

I have emailed a zipped project to support@oxygenxml.com

Re: keymap paths not resolving in Oxygen

That option helps somewhat - the images that are outside of the map tree are just omitted (without error message) but at least all other images are included.

Re: keymap paths not resolving in Oxygen

We had settled on a structure where maps where at a lower level than images. However, a preference has been expressed for this structure: /corporate corporate-imagemap /images /product product maps product-image-maps /images I cannot get this to work. Any references to /corporate/images breaks refer...

Re: keymap paths not resolving in Oxygen

I have triple-checked that I can run this ok from the command line. I need a different path setup - but it is perfectly possible for me to use the structure: maps/ content/ images/ with DITA-OT. I can get a setup where oxygen will generate a pdf with the images ok, but it can't display them. I think...

Re: keymap paths not resolving in Oxygen

You say this doesn't publish due to DITA-OT bugs, but as I explained earlier, I had no problems with the original structure:
maps
content
images

when publishing from dita-ot using an ANT build file.

I ONLY get problems when doing transformations from Oxygen.

Re: keymap paths not resolving in Oxygen

I've emailed a sample project that reproduces this issue.

The graphic displays in Oxygen but can't be found when transformed.

I'm using DITA 2.2.5 with a custom plugin, from C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 17\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT2.x

Re: <example> in <section>

I understand that you are validating against standard DTD, but in this case the logic seems wrong. This is accepted: <section> <title>some title</title> <ol id="ol_dvh_sqb_3w"> <li>a step.</li> <li>another step</li> </ol> </section> <example> <p>For example:</p> <codeblock>Some lines of co...

Re: Unable to import DITA-OT plugin

Thank you for your assistance, that seems to have worked.

It is still reporting a fatal error but no details or a log and is completing with Build Successful so I presume that's a spurious message.

Re: Unable to import DITA-OT plugin

I've checked where that line in my build.xml came from. I added that line following the instructions from the 'DITA for Print' book; it ensures that the plugin cascades so that the custom plugin is used and that default DITA-OT dita2pdf2 pdf plugin is used for any definitions not in the custom plugi...

Re: Unable to import DITA-OT plugin

I'm developing this plugin for multiple authors to use so adding multiple scenarios on top seems highly undesirable. It may be that I've broken some strict rules that Oxygen is trying to apply and the message is spurious. I will try to debug this and get to the bottom of it. First I need to migrate ...
