Re: Equations: Alignment, automatic numbering, referencing, etc.
Hi Radu Apologies for the (very) late response. This is now a live issue for me again. Thanks very much for taking the related xref-to-equation issue forward as https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/2183. I see your point, but in STEM-type content equations have no titles. References to them are...

Re: Custom map icons for specialised DITA topics?
Thanks, Sorin, for the quick and encouraging response. Yes, in principle this sounds perfect, especially as (if this is relevant) the titles of these topics will normally be not be rendered and would only be seen by the author. The oXygen API is an unvisited foreign country for me and I'm qualified ...

Custom map icons for specialised DITA topics?
Hello
Is it somehow possible, using a customised icon, to indicate in the DITA Maps Manager view which topics which are of specialised types (i.e. other than task, reference or concept)?
This sounds like a big ask, but would be really useful.
Thanks
Pat

Re: Setting math font in 'Antenna House Formatter' scenario
Just a follow-up to confirm that if I copy oXygen's call to AHF from the log, insert a parameter "-i [path-to-AHF-settings_file]" and run that from the command line, it works fine. But how can I tell the transformation scenario to do that? I see nowhere to enter that parameter…

Setting math font in 'Antenna House Formatter' scenario
To help me draw SVG diagrams containing math content using a sans-serif font, my stylesheet makes some character substitutions in MathFlow's MML then wraps the MML in a small FO file and sends it to Antenna House Formatter. The stylesheet is applied using oXygen's "Antenna House Formatter"...

Hi Adrian
Offline, you asked: "Are you maybe using Witch?"
Yes I was, and disabling it immediately and permanently cleared the problem. Pity: Witch is a good application/window switching app, but I'll live without it.
Thanks as always for outstanding support.

Sadly this time the magic doesn't seem to have worked. Really simple images are not rendering correctly.
Batik's letting you down. Is there any other option to just viewing embedded SVG graphics outside oXygen?

Re: SVG text not rendered under Mac OSX
Hi Radu
This variant kit worked perfectly for me and I saw no other bugs comparable to the one it cured.
Now I've upgraded to Oxygen 17 and I'm back where I was. Will there be a Java 1.8 version for this one too?
Thanks

Hi
Using Editor 12.1, build 2011012011, I'm seeing a new problem with jEuclid failing to render entities in MathML. The entities are listed and seem to be recognised OK; they're just not rendered in the Author view, which is a nuisance.
Any idea what I've broken?
