Re: Ad-hoc brainstorming DITA with Oxygen
Has anyone had a chance to look at my example file? I'd like to learn how to create reltable links like those described.

Re: Ad-hoc brainstorming DITA with Oxygen
Thank you Radu. I'll look at the PDF about reltables you linked to. Please find attached a ZIP file with a DITA map, DITA topics, the real PDF output using CSS transformation, and the desired PDF output with notes in red italics.

Re: Ad-hoc brainstorming DITA with Oxygen
Hi Radu,
I apologize if I have not made my goal clear. I'll prepare an example DITA map and mock-up the output I'm looking for. Thank you for your help (and patience).

Re: Ad-hoc brainstorming DITA with Oxygen
Radu, I clearly misunderstand something because I cannot produce parent-child links. Please find a DITA map and a few concepts in the attached ZIP file. When I transform the document using "family" or "sequence" collection-type, I see only "related" links. What did I do...

Re: Ad-hoc brainstorming DITA with Oxygen
dita_01.png In the DITA map shown in the attached PNG file, People are Agents , which are Entities . Their hierarchical relationship in the map reflects moving from more general to more specific concepts. Do these relationships need to be made explicit in the reltable or can they be extracted direc...

Ad-hoc brainstorming DITA with Oxygen
I run a one-person startup. I come up with the ideas and write both the code and the documentation. When writing, I jump from topic to topic. A few situations come up often that I don't know how to handle efficiently: 1) While writing, I introduce a word that will eventually need its own concept top...

Generating DITA programmatically?
Hi folks, I wrote a Python program that generates content (paragraphs, tables, figures) for a project. I'd like to improve the program so that it adds XML tags and generates DITA maps and draft documents. I would then load these documents into Oxygen for final editing and conversion to PDF. Is anyon...

The framework directory only needs the template and CSS file? 4. The CSS file needs instructions for rendering all t...

Adding fields to DITA topics
Hi folks, I'm trying to understand how to add fields to a DITA topic. My understand is that this is called "customizing" or "extending" and I've already read the relevant Oxygen XML documentation. I know I'm supposed to build upon the established DITA concept and also to define h...

Adding page numbers to links in DITA PDFs generated with CSS?
If I want to created a printed book from a large DITA map with many links, is there a way to automatically add a page number behind every link so that readers can still follow the links? For example, if the links happen to be capitalized, instead of "see LINK", I want the output to read &q...

Best Practices for Managing Citations within DITA documents?
Prior to switching to Oxygen, I wrote documents in Microsoft Word and used an external citation manager like Mendeley, Zotero, or Endnote to gather and organize my references. I installed a MS Word plugin to be able to have convenient access to my references while writing and to insert inline citati...

Re: Need help deciding between DITA and DOCBOOK
Thank you Radu. What about the different DITA formatting options such as XSL-FO and CSS? I started with XSL-FO but editing those files seems tedious and obscure. CSS already is well-established for web-pages. Do you believe it is an emerging DITA standard as well? Is Oxygen dedicated to supporting C...

I'm creating content for tabletop role-playing games to be distributed as PDFs and print on demand books. Perhaps the content will later be re-used to populate a website.
