Re: Dynamically change a chunk of content within a conref?

Using a unique @keyscope attribute value for each <topicref> element resolved the issue. I expanded by test by defining a second keyword (in a second <keydef> element within each key scope. That enabled be to substitute a second keyword in a different conkeyref within each topic. Thank you for your ...

Re: Dynamically change a chunk of content within a conref?

I tried using the key scope you suggested. Instead of each topic displaying the keyword defined in its corresponding <topicref> element, all of the topics display the key word that was defined in the first <topicref> element. Here is the example you provided for the map. I expanded this example by a...

Dynamically change a chunk of content within a conref?

I created a series of DITA task topics that explain how to create different configuration items in our portal. There are some steps that are the same for all types of configurations. I documented these reusable steps in a collection file and inserted them into the task topics using a conref. There i...

Re: Search Attribute Not Working

Any idea when this issue will be resolved? We occasionally have scenarios where we need to prevent a DITA topic from displaying in the table of contents and search results. Setting a <topicref> element's @toc attribute = yes works great for preventing the topic from displaying in the table of conten...

Re: Is there an Oxygen setting that automatically removes empty attributes from DITA topics?

I think I figured this out Radu. If an attribute shows as Empty or containing a space (see highlighted area in attached image). oxygen_empty_attribute.png Oxygen automatically removes the attributes when the writer sets an attribute value in the Edit Profile Settings Window. Oxygen does not automati...

Add parameter to PDF transformation scenarios to generate a final version of a topic with track changes accepted

We often send our customers PDF versions of our topics for review. Although we use Oxygen's Track Changes feature, we do not want the PDFs to display the tracked changes. We only want customers to see the final version of a topic after changes have been accepted. From what I can determine, Oxygen on...

The template has a prompt that asks the writer if the topic is only for internal audiences. If the writer selects Yes , the topic's audience attribute is set to internal...

Thank you for the information Radu. I discovered the Editor Variables topic you referenced a few weeks ago. Thanks to what I learned from reading that topic, I'm using the ${uuid} and ${cfn} variables in my templates to automatically populate some data in topics when they are created.
