Hi Radu. So what you're saying is that this line break feature added 10 years ago was quickly removed, because it didn't work in DITA? I am surprised to hear that line breaks are not requested very often. I agree that I don't use it often, but when it's needed, a workaround is difficult. For example...

Hello. This simple word processing task has eluded me in Oxygen. I did a Google search and found this response from Radu 10 years ago: Re: Entering a newline from the middle of a tag Post by Radu » Fri Oct 02, 2009 1:32 am Hello Mark, Oxygen 11 (available in a few weeks) will have the Insert new lin...

Hi. I already had clean.output = yes. And I renamed the output folder, allowing Oxygen to create a new WebHelp output folder. Neither worked: when I switched back to build 2019090904, the resulting WebHelp will not search.

Will it help if I send you a copy of my faulty WebHelp?

A few days ago, my OxygenXML Author notified me there was an update. So I installed the update and continued working. Everything seemed normal. Today, I did another WebHelp compile using the WebHelp Responsive transformation that I've been using all along. The compile completed normally and the WebH...

Hi Radu. I am revisiting your reply above, as I thought I got rid of the problem but now it's reappeared in my project again. I don't understand this sentence from your reply: so forcefully treating all links as generic topics by setting the @type attribute on the related links element I don't see a...

Thanks, Radu. I tried the HTML5 version and it does align properly. I will look to see if we can adapt that for our template.

I am new to DITA--what's the difference between "FO" and "HTML5"? Why would I use one over the other?

I am using the Global transformation "DITA Map PDF - based on XSL-FO - Copy". My version of Oxygen is XML Author 21.1, build 2019061404.

Here is a minor but annoying visual glitch that I can't figure out how to resolve. In a numbered step, if there is a graphic in the line (for example, a button illustration), the line is :pushed down: to accommodate the taller graphic, but step number stays in the same place. This results in an awkw...

Hi Radu. It just occurred to me maybe the reason why I can't create CHM is that I'm running on Linux? I just upgraded to OxygenXML version 21 and now the CHM compile does result in output in the CHM directory, but it's just my source files as HTML files. Then there are three separate .hhc, .hhk, and...

I have sent you a copy of my DITA OT console output. Hopefully you can resolve this as this error is blocking me from compiling a WebHelp for our release. (We need WebHelp from v21, because it resolves a security issue.) For what it's worth, I tried creating a simple 2-topic test project, and the We...

Radu, I have emailed the DITA OT console output to your Support email, referencing this topic. Hopefully you will be able to figure this out quickly, as we need WebHelp output from version 21 imminently.

I decided to try compiling our online help into CHM to see how it looks like. I chose the CHM transformation and it completed successfully: BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 27 seconds The process finished with exit code: 0 Right after that, my browser opens and I see this message: File Not Found Firefox...

I just installed OxygenXML Author version 21 this morning and tried recompiling my WebHelp (which worked with no problems in version 20). After running into a host of more minor errors that I was able to figure out myself, I am stumped at this transformation error: Transformation failed. /home/clum/...

Hello. I am asking about text in the WebHelp output.

Hey Radu. I just discovered a side effect glitch: if my Related Topics links go to both Concepts and Tasks, I end up getting two "Related topics" sections! For example: Related topic: Concept Topic Related topic: Task Topic Is there any way to force it to put both under the same "Related topic" head...

Is there an easy way to hide a block of text so that you can reveal/collapse it by clicking a link? This was easy to do in Flare, but I've gone in circles trying to find out how to do this in OxygenXML.

Thanks for the response. That is what I expected unfortunately.

Let's hope the issue gets corrected soon!

Here is something that has been annoying me for a while. To start off, I create normal parent & child topics, then: Scenario 1 If I do not specify a "chunk" setting, the resulting WebHelp shows the parent/children in the left nav TOC. If I search for a a child topic (using its topic title), the topi...

Thanks for the info, Radu. I will remove all links from the <shortdesc> element to avoid those messages.

BTW, I don't get tooltips when I hover over the links in the TOC of my WebHelp.

That worked!

Thank you very much, Radu.

Hi Radu. I am using OxygenXML Author 20.1 build 2018122403. I don't believe that we are using an external DITA Open Toolkit (I inherited this project; how do I verify?). Does this link work for you? It's the actual link associated with the last message I sent in the old thread: https://www.oxygenxml...

Thanks Radu. But when I try adding the label "Related topics" using the <desc> tag, it doesn't work. In my WebHelp output, the <desc> string is ignored and now there's no "Related" title showing. Only the links to the related topics are shown. I'd like to try the CSS method, but I don't know where t...

When I generate WebHelp, I see many errors like this: The file <filename> is not available to resolve link information. However, I have double-checked the cross reference and it is correct. I am able to click the hyperlink in the topic to trigger the destination file. When I compile my WebHelp, the ...

On a related note, I see that the relationship tables that were set up uses "Related information" as the header, and that's what shows up in our topics: "Related information". But when I manually add related topics, they usually come up as "Related concepts" (because most of my topics are Concepts)....

Yes, you are right Radu--relationship tables are in effect! I didn't know about these. Thanks!

I have this perplexing problem that I've been wracking my brain over, but I can't figure it out. I have started adding related topics links to the end of my topics. I do this by selecting Link icon > Related link to topic . In authoring mode, it shows up as "Related information:" and the underlying ...

Hey Radu. I discovered the answer shortly after I posted (how do you retract a post awaiting moderation? Is it even possible?)

Turns out you need a figure title for it to show. I added the Title element and it works fine now.

Hi Radu. I was trying to follow your instructions in this post to add a List of Figures to my PDF: https://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/post25300.html?hilit=list%20of%20figures#p25300 I opened my Book Map file and added "<figurelist/> to the <booklists> section as you directed: <frontmatter> <keydef keys...

I think I've figured it out. The "correct" product name strings are inserted when "Root map = <current map>". The "incorrect" strings are inserted when I set root map to another ditamap. I inherited this project where the previous writer created an "overall" ditamap that included both our user guide...

This is a tricky one to explain, but I'll do my best. In my project, we have resource files that contain reusable components for things like our company name, product name, etc. Until now, this feature has been rock solid: when I insert the variable from the DITA Reusable Components window, it works...
