Does anyone have a setup for passing a string from a DITA Scenario parameter (like args.css.param.watermark), to watermark a pdf?

Re: Topic level reuse in concatenated DITA maps

Hi Folks, Thanks for your responses, I appreciate your interest and support. I do get a topic generated for each instance of the topic in the build. I do get the first instance as the primary search return, and the remainder under related links. I was hoping to find a way to make the content of each...

Re: Topic level reuse in concatenated DITA maps

What I mean by breaking the search is that in this example it would only find the first instance of topic three. I'm guessing that I will need to conref a lot of content to make the topics unique and ensure that topic 3 occurs in search results as two distinct topics with different navtitles.

Video in pdf

I noticed in the release notes for 25.1 there is a feature for embedding a video viewport in pdf. The CSS looks simple enough, but I can't make this work using 23.0. Is there actually a dependency on 25.1, or am I making a mistake with CSS? Added to my print custom css: .video { width: 480px; height...

Use terminology checker to flag missing short description

Hello!

I have been having rollicking success creating rules with the terminology checker add-on. I was wondering if the tool can support a check for the short description element and throw a warning if it is not present in the topic. If so, how would one code that?

Maybe time to learn schematron?

Re: Controlling pdf toolbar in Chrome

Yes you are right, I was focused on the attributes (everything after #) which will suppress the tool bar for both an xref to a pdf and a pdf embedded in a webhelp topic.

Thanks for your quick response!

Controlling pdf toolbar in Chrome

When I create an xref to a pdf file, how do I set the attributes to pass the attributes to suppress the toolbar etc.

HTML would be

Code: Select all
