We have explored both possibilities. The problem with both approach is that writers have to perform the action by clicking a button or applying a quick fix. Can the quick fix or custom action be triggered when the current document changes or edited? We want to automate the action.

Here is what I am trying to achieve: If <critdates> contains more than 3 <revised> elements, the custom Action should delete the all revised elements except the last three. I have created an custom action using DeleteElementsOperation. However, writers have to perform the operation manually. I am tr...

Is it possible to trigger the DeleteElementsOperation author action automatically, say, when a document is opened in the web author?

I think modifying the fop.xconf file with the following changes fixes the scaling issues when the @width attribute is used: <!-- Source resolution in dpi (dots/pixels per inch) for determining the size of pixels in SVG and bitmap images, default: 72dpi --> <source-resolution>120</source-resolution> ...

The org.dita.pdf2.fop plugin that's packaged with Oxygen XML has some customization/patches or custom libraries - especially for handling images. The org.dita.pdf2.fop plugin in the DITA OT downloaded from the DITA OT website does not have those customizations. Are we allowed to copy the org.dita.pd...

It may sound silly but I still want to ask:
Is it possible to add oxygen-dita-prolog-updater-addon-1.0.0.jar from the prolog updater? Will it work with web author if added through custom framework?

Ok. Thank you. This is what I mean - we can modify the custom framework but we cannot access the admin page and install plugins for web author. Hope that clarifies. I was under the impression that the prolog updater plugin works with web author. Looks like it doesn't. I will explore the solution you...

Your java solution sounds fine as long as we have the control to install web author extensions through the admin page. I am afraid we don't have that control as of now. We are allowed to modify the web author framework in ixiasoft environment. That's why I am exploring a mechinism to replicate what ...

Thank you for the response. It's for the Web Author. Since we don't control the web author administration (ixia does), the plugin option is not going to help. Can we add a javascript to the custom framework? If yes, what classes should we use to achieve the requirement? I have created a new post wit...

Regarding the option to customize Web Author with JavaScript, is it possible to do the following through a javascript configured with a custom framework? Detect if a doccument is new or existing If it's new, add the user and date details to the doc and save. If it's an existing doc that's modified, ...

When a wrtier creates or modifies a topic, is there way to automatically capture the date created, date modified, the creator, and modified by details in Oxygen XML Web author?
Is that possible without prolog updater plugin?
Context: Oxygen XML Web Author integrated with ixiasoft.

Hi Team, Suddenly, Oxygen XML Editor on my system stopped working. When I try to start it, I keep getting this error: Cannot start <oXygen/> XML Editor. Due to:java.lang.NullPointerException Cannot invoke "java.net.URL.toExternalForm()" because the return value of "ro.sync.ecss.compon...

This combination seems to work:

• The value of args.resources should be a file path.

• generate.copy.outer = 3

• fix.external.refs.com.oxygenxml = true

Hi Radu, I tried the following: args.resources = file:/C:/git/-doc/common/keys.ditamap args.resources = ../../common/keys.ditamap (relative path) I also tried seting the fix.external.refs.com.oxygenxml param to true. I keep getting this error: [DOTX008E] File 'file:/C:/Program%20Files/Oxygen%20XML%2...

In Oxygen XML Author, key definitions are not resolved in the output when a single/individual topic is transformed PDF using the PDF XSL FO scenario. Is there a way to pass the key definitions map to the process. I used the args.resources parameter. But it's not working.

Thank you for confirming it.

When @scope is set to "peer", the validation does not show any error even if the file is not found in the specified path. Is that the expected behavior?

If I remember correctly, Oxygen XML Author/Editor used to show an error/mark the broken cross-references in the editor (in case referenced files are not found in the specified path). I installed version 24.1. It does not show an error for missing files/broken references. When you click what appears ...

Thank you. The attribute processing-role=resource-only does not work as expected (it does not cascade down to child topics). And there is no support for cross-bundle links in DITA OT. Just a little complex scenario if we publish each ditamap separately to a Knowledge Portal (Zoomin). We publish Glos...

Thank you, Chris. I downloaded the example maps from this project: https://github.com/chrispy-snps/DITA-fi ... html-links
The cross-deliverable linking does not work without running the utility. Is the utility a workaround?

I was trying to follow the instructions on the following page: https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/specs/archSpec/base/links-between-maps.html#:~:text=addressing%20and%20linking-,A%20map%20can%20use%20scoped%20keys%20to%20reference%20keys%20that,working%20links%20to%20other%20deliverables. When I set...

I need to check with my colleague. I think there are build errors when using DITA OT 2.5.

Thank you. We are not recommending xrefs in short descriptions. I was doing research because of the build errors we see when we publish topics that contain xrefs in short descriptions. We were trying to identify the cause of build errors given that the DITA spec allows it. That's the context of this...

Hi Team,
This topic says that xrefs are not directly allowed in shortdesc.
https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/stylegui ... tdesc.html
However, as per DITA 1.3, xref is allowed in shortdesc.
Is that article still relevant?

I am ware of the two parameters. My team won't be comfortable using the params to stop crawling links since certain amount crawling is fine. But if we specify certain files as resource-only, crawling should not happen on such files.

I have added a note to the issue. Thank you.

I think it is. Thank you for sharing the link, Chris.

Thank you, Radu. Yes, that will help writers who validate the maps diligently. Is it possible to do such validation via commandline?

test_resource_only_attribute.zip I have a dita map that references another map, which is set as a resource-only map. However, the resource-only map references a topic which includes a cross-reference to a topic. The responsive webhelp crawls the cross-reference and generates an html file for the fi...

Topics are added by mistake. And some of them lead to spaghetti links.
