How control heading styles in PDF output?
I would like to modify the fonts and formatting of the heading styles in the PDF transformation in OxygenXML. Specifically, in the "DITA Map PDF - based on XSL-FO". What has happened is: our project structure has pushed some topics quite deep--5 or 6 levels deep from the root. This poses n...

Re: PDF XSL-FO won't compile in Oxygen 23.1
Sorry Radu, I forgot about this thread as I moved back to Oxygen 22.1 to avoid the problem. So if I replace the problematic section with: <xsl:call-template name="output-message"> <xsl:with-param name="id" select="'DOTX066W'"/> <xsl:with-param name="msgparams"...

WebHelp output from Oxygen 23.1 garbled
I just noticed more problems with version 23.1: it garbles the output of my WebHelp. See the two attached screenshots: the 22.1 version displays the page correctly, while the 23.1 version wrecks the line spacing and introduces some weird overlay garble over my "Note" elements. Output from ...

Re: Error when inserting reusable content
That's interesting. It must be a new bug then (in v23?)! That's because I've created many reusable components with a description in the past, and I've never run into this problem before.

I am a little confused by all the different versions of Oxygen. We use Oxygen XML Author, but on your web site most of the videos seem to be for your XML Editor. My question: how similar are these two products? Is XML Editor considered a subset of XML Author, or the other way around? Most of your vi...

Re: PDF: Fails with XSL-FO but succeeds with HTML5&CSS
Thanks for the feedback, Greg and Julien.
I use the default XSL-FO transformation with a few slight tweaks. I'll try the troubleshooting tip. In the meanwhile, I went back to another project with a known history of PDF'ing properly and was able to get my new outline to PDF.

Thank you for the tips, Julien. I will try those when I get a chance.
I can rule out a missing font, because the correct font is used elsewhere as shown in my example.
