Re: DITA Open toolkit 4.0
Thank you for your response, Radu. It sounds like it would be best to just wait until your update Oxygen and Java support. I saw that one can redirect from one DITA-OT to another either through preferences or with an explicit statement in the custom transform to use the other one. I didn't want to c...

DITA Open toolkit 4.0
I notice that Oxygen is using Open toolkit 3.0. I downloaded the DITA Open toolkit 4.0 and placed its folder in the "oxygen XML editor/frameworks/dita" folder. I set a global configure transform to use this folder rather than the open toolkit 3.0 folder. I ran the DITA-ot integrator and re...

Custom semantic elements
I know this is a beginner question, but is there a way in DITA/OxygenXML to create a custom semantic or typographical element? DITA has several semantic elements for quotations, notes, etc. and typographical elements for bold, italic, etc. But if you want to define a DITA element that gets translate...

Assemblies and Directories
With DITA topics and a DITA bookmap, I can easily have topics in logical directories and create a pdf target that works. I tried doing the same thing in a Docbook Assembly and encountered problems. I put the Docbook topics in various subdirectories which basically corresponded to chapter titles. If ...

Re: How to troubleshoot "Unresolved ID reference" error?
Thank you, Julien, for identifying and solving the issue. In my case, it was because the custom CSS hid the title and subtitle from the title page (since I had an image with these already). Julien's fix was to add the lines: *[class ~= "front-page/front-page-title"] > *[class ~= "book...

Re: How to troubleshoot "Unresolved ID reference" error?
I'm having the same issue with a warning unresolved ID reference. None of the files fails validation and the only reference to this is in the generated "fo" file. I can't find a fix but the pdf seems to generate without problems.

How to create multiple lines in DITA table cell
Is there a way of creating multiple lines in a single DITA table cell without excessive spacing? I created a pdf target using HTML/CSS and I've tried three options: adding <p></p> to each line within an <entry></entry> and using the <line></line>. Both give a lot of extra spacing. The closest I can ...

Re: Omit sub table of contents in epub target
Thanks. That looks a lot better. So far I'm finding that Docbook export has much better defaults than DITA for ePubs. I can get close with a DITA Bookman but I still need to edit the ePub afterwards with Sigil or some other editing program.

I have a reasonable pdf output from a DITA Bookmap file using custom HTML/CSS now, but would like to display the subtitle (but not the title) on the title page (since the cover image already has title and author). I imagine this requires modifying some xpath rule, but I don't really know where to st...

It would be nice if only the front and back matter used lower roman numbering, but the entire book uses roman numbering if built with HTML/CSS.

Re: DITA to pdf loses images
Moving the image directory to a subdirectory of topics did fix the issue. Unfortunately, the scale parameter doesn't seem to affect the pdf output if done with XSL-FO but fine with the HTML-CSS method. Thanks.
