Re: Sudden transformation problem

One of our build experts reports that he has solved this problem. He says that changing args.input from ${cf} to ${pd}/${cfne} has fixed the problem. He says: "The args.input value was causing the problem because it made Oxygen use the user's temporary dir in AppData as the output directory. Ch...

Sudden transformation problem

We are stumped with a transformation problem that started occurring early today. Yesterday it was working fine, as usual. I tried backing out the xpr and ditamap changes that occurred after the last good build, but we still have the same problem. Most of us are on Editor 19 or 19.1, but between the ...

Re: Webhelp indexterm search is slow - how to optimize?

Thank you for looking into this. The new code is a BIG improvement! FYI, there were some character sequences that were not valid in XML, so I had to use CDATA. The two changed lines are: if (inputValue != '' <![CDATA[&&]]> inputValue.length >= oldLength) { and if (inputValue != '' <![CDATA[&...

Re: Webhelp indexterm search is slow - how to optimize?

To Ionela Istodor , can you tell me what is considered a medium-size project? At what size is the index lookup expected to degrade, and is there a way to remediate it?

Re: Webhelp indexterm search is slow - how to optimize?

Hi Ionela, the help on your web site works fine. What do you consider a moderately sized project? Our output from the Web Help Classic transformation is 70.9 MB, and has 4848 files in 782 folders.

How to easily change toc tab label to "Contents" ?

We are using WebHelp Classic and 19.1, and want to change the default label for the TOC content tab from "Content" to "Contents". I have not found a way to do this. Is there an easy way to do this in the css?

Webhelp indexterm search is slow - how to optimize?

We are using Oxygen 19.1 and WebHelp Classic. We are finding that the indexterm search is quite slow, and were wondering if there's a way to speed it up. This is the search from the "Index" tab. When you type a word into the search box, the word does not appear in the box for about 8-10 se...

I'm using WebHelp Classic and want to display the build date (the date the transformation was run) in the html output. I tried doing the following: 1) On the Transformation Parameters dialog, click New, then enter the parameter name (args.sysdate) and value (${date(yyyy-MM-dd)}). 2) In the ...DITA-t...

How to suppress panes in WebHelp?

We have help that is built using WebHelp Classic, and we use index.htm. Normally, we want (and get) the top, left, and content panes. However, when selecting one particular topic, we just want to see the content, not the top or left panes. But all the panes are always showing up. (Parenthetically, I...

importance="optional" for li ?

We recently converted our content to Dita. Some of our tasks correctly use steps/step but many are still using ul/li. We eventually intend to convert them but that cannot be completed in the available timeframe. We want optional steps to be labelled as "Optional:" regardless of whether the...

How to override the menucascade-separator?

The default menucascade-separator looks like an angle bracket with a dotted line underneath. I'd like to change it to just the angle bracket, and to specify that in the css file. I tried the following, and it did add an angle bracket, but it also retained the default separators, so there were two se...

Re: Profiling condition sets at the project level do not work

I think I have a solution. I can specify ditavalref in my ditamap, for example: <ditavalref href="feature-toggles.ditaval"/>
And still have a ditaval filter on the transformation for that map.

Re: Profiling condition sets at the project level do not work

Hi Sorin, thanks for your reply. As it turns out, while testing, I had updated my global transformation to use the same filter as the one I used for the condition set. That's why it worked in the global context. But I am still trying to solve a problem related to condition sets. Under a project, we ...

Profiling condition sets at the project level do not work

Our group would like to be able to toggle text based on a feature ID. To do this, I created a ditaval file whose entries have att="otherprops" , val = the feature ID, and the appropriate action. I went to Profiling/Conditional Text, and under Profiling Condition Sets, I specified this dita...
