Hello Michael,
We are preparing a nightly build of the publishing engine, with a new parameter that will allow you to control the discarding of the top/bottom margins for elements that are at the top or bottom of a page. Costin will give you more details when the build is ready.
Many regards,
Dan

Hello,

I think one workaround is to use the padding-top property instead of margin. The margin is discarded, but the padding not.

Many regards,
Dan

The margins of the first block in the page are now discarded. This is desirable, to make the sections titles align properly in the page when they are at the beginning. The front-page-title is not the first block in the page, there are others with no content. Those are losing the top margin. A workar...

Thank you for the details! The problem is caused by the padding-right="4px" . This looks like either our fix from the built-in CSS is not working, or you have such padding set in the customization CSS. Please open the merged HTML file in a browser (Chrome for instance), and using the developer tools...

Hello Michael, I tried to use the DITA sample: [Oxygen Install Dir]\samples\dita\it-book\taskbook.ditamap and the standard HTML transformation using the 'ashes' template but I cannot reproduce the problem. Please try to use a standard publishing template (the first tab in the transformation scenario...

We have made the necessary changes. The fix will be available in oXygen/Chemistry 21.1.

Thank you for reporting this issue, the page layout has improved!

Many regards,
Dan

Thank you for reporting this! Yes, this is a limitation, we will try to find a solution for this. For the moment I see no easy workaround, except trying to alter all the SVG from the documentation using the oXygen refactoring actions in a form that is acceptable for both the print and web formats. A...

Hello Michael, The transformation add a code inside the pre element. This is an inline element, that has some padding set from the built-in CSS. You should remove its padding: pre{ padding:2px 4px; } pre > code{ padding:0; } I fixed this in the default CSSs. If you encounter more problems, please co...

Hello Adam, Please use: *[class ~= "topic/xref"][href]:after, *[class ~= "topic/link"][href]:after { content: none !important; } The documentation about link styling is here https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-pdf-css/topics/dcpp_links.html#dcpp_links In the current documentation the !important qualifi...

We found something, we could use the space-before and space-after FO attributes instead of margin-top and margin-bottom in the intermediate FO file. We will notify you when we have a build.

Avoid using [1], it means the first item from its parent. Use (..)[1] to select the first item returned by the inner expression. I would write the expression like: //*[contains(@class, " front-page/front-page ")]//*[contains(@class, " topic/category ")]/*[contains(@class, "topic/keyword")]/text() Us...

Hello Chris,
This is interesting, than you for reporting it. We will try to find a solution.

Many regards,

Hello Bridget,

Please try different PDF Readers.
I see that the one from Chrome works completely different from the Acrobat Reader.
The first one sets newlines after each visual line, while Acrobat is putting the entire codeblock on a single line, that is bad also.

Many regards,
Dan

Can you post a DITA snippet?
Thank you,
Dan

We do not have this page defined in the default CSS, but you do have a workaround: You have to use a DITA bookmap and add a backmatter to it. In this backmatter add a reference to a topic that contains the back-page content. That topic must be marked with a special outputclass attribute value, like ...

Hello Chris,
Thank you for sharing your scripts!

What transformation are you using? If you are using the CSS based PDF transformation, please see:

Oxygen folks - is there a way to run Chemistry PDF with only my CSS applied? I will gladly take responsibility for all counters, page and elements formats, etc.

No, there is no such option. You can try to change the build.xml file from the com.oxygenxml.pdf.css DITA plugin.

Many regards,
Dan

Yes, there is a tutorial about customizing the CSS based DITA transformations. You can read more here:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-pdf-css/

We will redesing the website layout to make this resource easier to find.

Many regards,
Dan

There is no simple way to achieve this by CSS layout, but is an workaround. You should create a series of simple background images for the hazard statement headers. These background images should replace the normal header coloring, and have the left part empty - on this part the danger symbol is pla...

What do you want to accomplish exactly?
If your usecase is to create padding to the rest of the elements that follow the label, you can use something like:

Hello, Please read the topic: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/21.0/ug-pdf-css/topics/dcpp_debugging_the_css.html In this way you can find out how to develop your CSS rules. 1. For example, to match a topic child of a chapter, you can expand your selector: *[class ~= "topic/topic"][is-chapter]...

You should use the string defined earlier, like: @page { ... @bottom-right { content: string(chaptertitle)" - " "Page " counter(page); font-size: 10pt; } .. } Please read more information about string sets here (this is the userguide for the Oxygen PDF Chemistry engine that is used by the DITA PDF C...

In the PDF there are still i18n problems - we are preparing a nightly build with fixes. Please write on support@oxygenxml.com to get details about how to download it. The idea will be to change the output language just by setting the xml:lang on the root element or by using the 'default.language' tr...

You may find useful the documentation: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/21.0/ug-pdf-css/topics/dcpp_numbering_intro.html The built-in CSS rules are in: [PLUGIN_DIR]/css/print/p-numbering-shallow.css and [PLUGIN_DIR]/css/print/p-numbering-deep.css . The first CSS contains the rules that add a "...

Can you give details?

Thank you,
Dan

We reproduced the problem, and we are now working to find a solution for this. We will let you know when we have a fix for that.
Many regards,
Dan

You should change the stringset definition for chapter: In your case you can remove the " | " counter(chapter) from the string-set: *[class ~= "map/map"] *[class ~= "topic/topic"][is-chapter]:not([is-part]) > *[class ~= "topic/title"] { string-set: chaptertitle " | " counter(chapter) " - " content()...

Send to the support@oxygenxml.com the transformation console log.

What oXygen version are you using?
Can you let us know the Chemistry build ID from the transformation console?

Thank you,
Dan
