Hi Radu, For some reason when I paste the url, it gets abbreviated after the dialog is submitted.

Re: Show step importance (optional, recommended) in Webhelp and PDF

Thank you, Radu.
I looked at https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/spec ... arget.html
Can I apply that so I can use <step importance="recommended"> ?

Re: Show step importance (optional, recommended) in Webhelp and PDF

Hi, I'm using Oxygen XML Editor 18.1 In this thread it looks like <step importance="recommended"> is viable. However, https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/specs/langRef/technicalContent/step.html says: Allowed values are "optional", "required", or -dita-use-conref-target....

Copy/Paste without creating element id

In Oxygen XML Editor author and text mode, I often copy steps and images from one task into a new task. In the new task, I edit the step to achieve a new purpose. The copied elements often have an auto generated ID. I prefer to add an ID myself if it is needed in a xref or conref. Is there a way to ...

In Oxygen is it possible, in a TASK with steps, to process a xref in a conref? https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/specs/archSpec/base/handling-xref-and-conref-within-topics.html?hl=resolve%2Cconref%2Chref That link says TOPIC. Does that exclude tasks? I receive this error: Description: [DOTX033E]: U...

Hi, Thanks for the samples, in my opinion what you are trying is correct and it should work according to the specs. I tried to publish using the DITA OT 2.x bundled with Oxygen 18.1 to plain XHTML and indeed I can reproduce the problem. After this I tried publishing with DITA OT 2.4.4 (which will b...

Re: Static Labels

Thanks Costin. Upgrade 18.1 solved the problem. What is the cost if I upgrade to 19.0, given that I already have 18? I don't find that information on the Oxygen website. Just the price to buy new.
Thank you,
Ginny

Thank you, Radu. I look forward to oxygen 19.0. Your comment that internal links are not "best practice" stands out, and I would like to learn more. There is prodigious instruction on the oxygen and the oasis websites about how to reference links to internal steps, list items, tables, figu...
