Re: Error integrating external DITA-OT

Thanks for your help Radu.
I'm even happier now, as I have managed to figure out why the note icons were not displaying. I had used a path to the plugin folder for the args.css, instead of using "${configured.ditaot.dir}".

Re: Render reltable content as a table

Hi Julien

Thank you, I have managed to get that working using the DITA map HTML CSS transform.

I will now experiment with applying some formatting to the tables.

Is there a way to specify coloumn widths to reltables and to make each reltable appear as a separate table?

Regards

Re: Error integrating external DITA-OT

Hi Radu

Thank you so mucn for your reply.

I had suggested using a newer DITA-OT with our developers a while back, but they were reluctant saying that it may introduce problems. I will speak to them again.

In the meantime, I have requested that my versison of Jave be upgraded.
