Hi Dan, We have <indexterms> in our DITA (it's content converted from FrameMaker), but we don't want to generate the index or its TOC entry at this time. How do we suppress index generation in PDF Chemistry? At https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/21.1/ug-pdf-css/topics/dcpp_table_of_contents.html...

We use Microsoft Visio in a Windows 10 environment to create SVG figures. Thus, the SVG files contain references to the "Arial" and "Courier New" font families. When we use PDF Chemistry in a linux environment to publish our books, these fonts are not resolved and instead fall back to Times. Althoug...

I have a post-processing utility that we run on our published PDF files. However, it's cumbersome for our writers to run it manually each time they publish a PDF with PDF Chemistry. Is there a way to run an external utility automatically as a part of the PDF Chemistry transformation? I don't see an ...

Dan, this worked absolutely *perfectly* - thank you so much!!

We use background colors to indicate profiling attributes, and we do see table rows highlighted as expected when the attributes are applied. We had some initial difficulty on actually *applying* conditions to table rows, but we shared the following two methods within our team and it helped: Click an...

I've updated the script to behave as follows: When a topic is open, all map references** to that topic are updated. When a map is open but a topic is not, all map references** to topics in the open map are updated. When no map or topic is open and the current map context is set to <Current map>, all...

We use a prefix of "See Also" for our related links, in both the editor and the PDF output. Here's the CSS we use for that: html:root [class~="topic/linklist"] > strong { display: none; } *[class ~= "topic/related-links"]::before { content: "See Also"; font-weight: bold; page-break-after: avoid; mar...

Hmm, I might have hit a more serious problem. When I hid the @class attribute, all my CSS customizations that use @class stopped working. I assumed that rejectAttributes would hide attributes from the Attributes view, but I didn't expect it to suppress them from the internal machinery inside Oxygen....

Thanks Radu! The ability to override is certainly a good one, and we wouldn't want to lose that ability. But in the meantime, it would be nice to mention at https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/21.1/ug-editor/topics/configuring-content-completion-proposals.html?hl=cc_config.xml#configuring-content...

Are cc_config.xml files incremental? I've extended the DITA framework. In my <framework>/resources/ directory, I created the following cc_config.xml file to hide some DITA attributes: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-model href="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/ccfilter/config/ccConfigSchemaF...

Thanks Radu! It has been working well in practice. When a user has made changes to a topic's subtopic structure, they (1) run the tool from the menu item, (2) click into the DITA Maps Manager, which reloads the changed map file, then (3) click back into the editing window, which expands the map to t...

Hi Radu, This is great information and Java is surely the right way to do this. Unfortunately I don't know any Java beyond "hello world" and so such a solution is not workable in my timeframe (which is tomorrow-ish!). For now, I have written a perl script that takes one or more topic filenames as in...

Hi all, Many of our topic files have subtopics nested in the same physical topic file. For example, <topic id="CIHJIEEE"> <title>About This Manual</title> <topic id="X2Tw8aq9SqTGl9W3GCTN5-w"> <title>Audience</title> </topic> <topic id="BABFAGGE"> <title>Related Publications</title> </topic> <topic i...

I second what Dan said - use the CSS Style Inspector! It will show you any CSS properties that are overriding your setting.

I have a set of ten books that have many terms specific to our industry. I wanted to create a custom Hunspell dictionary (.dic, .aff) that contains the words I want to be valid for our books. If you have access to a linux-like environment (I use WSL in Windows 10), you can do the following: 1. Run "...

The situation with our shared project file became unworkable. Despite telling everyone not to include it in commits, it still accidentally got staged/committed/conflicted. For now, we have a MASTER project file in the repo, then each writer copies it to their own working copy. I added the following ...

Perfect - thank you Adrian!

You can also use the following utility to create attribute plugins for you: https://github.com/chrispy-snps/DITA-plugin-utilities Here are two attributes I use in our books ( style and paginate ), along with a docshell that includes them: <plugin directory="./com.mine.docshell" uri_prefix="com:mine:...

Is this also the algorithm used when DITA content is edited or rewrapped? I've been looking for a way to rewrap all the DITA files in my project. The reason for this is that my FrameMaker-to-DITA conversion code formats it one way, but then Oxygen XML Author formats it another way whenever the files...

Hi Radu, For smaller projects, it's definitely useful to store the root map and scenario associations in the project file. Like you say, any user can obtain and open the project, and they will have sensible default behaviors ready for them. I believe this becomes less ideal when there are multiple u...

I just installed the latest v2.0.0 update of the Git plugin. There is support for rebase-pulling - I'm excited to try it out!! A quick question to everyone... We have our *.xpr Oxygen project file stored in our Git repository, so that (1) pulling the Git repository down creates a ready-to-use projec...

Please put my vote down for PDF Chemistry support of change bars via DITAVAL!

Regarding the second question, I had a similar question about accessing keydef values from CSS here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/post54203.html#p54203 In my case, the keys would be defined in the topic map *but* never referenced (except by the CSS), so there was no expansion in the content that ...

I need to correct my earlier post - our repo is 26k files, not 175k files. We are currently evaluating Oxygen XML Author. Everyone loves the Git integration! In a recent meeting, it was mentioned more than any other feature as being their favorite aspect of the authoring experience, particularly the...

I've already shared this with Sorin, but here's what I see when I do a local-commit of a single file (Windows 10). The repo has 175k files, so it's not small...

One further thought - I would not suggest spending development effort to provide a terminal/prompt interface; a simple command dialog box that shows its output in the same way as transformations would be completely sufficient!

Hi Sorin, I personally do not mind an external client. I use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) in Windows 10, and I freely switch between the Git plugin in Oxygen (Windows 64-bit) and the linux command-line git client in the same shared directory. But many of our writers are nontechnical. For certai...

Hi Sorin, Thanks for your reply! Currently we run an external Git client (either GitBash or Git in WSL) to perform the more advanced actions. However, invoking a command window to an external interface is not what I was thinking. Eclipse JGit has its own command-line interface (CLI) that I would thi...

I submitted an enhancement request for the Git plugin to provide a simple command-line interface to the Eclipse JGit module used internally. With this, we could (hopefully!) perform simple operations such as branch creation and branch merges from within the Oxygen environment.

Thanks Radu! This is great information to get me going. I'll need to learn Java and all this SDK stuff, so it might be some time before I can share my solution here. But, this is a good opportunity for me to learn how to extend Oxygen to my team's needs.
