Re: Possibilities to directly edit dita topics in a ditamap
Hi Julien, I figured out why this is not working for me. Now I see that maps and topics have their own sets of transformations: image.png and that the map and topic versions of the PDF Chemistry transformation have a different "Type" value: image.png Our "Synopsys PDF" transformation (we have severa...

Re: Discussion about the Oxygen Git Plugin v2.3.0
Hi Sorin, In the following dialog, could you add the repo name? image.png Sometimes I am switching between several repos to do things, and when this pops up, I am never sure which repo it's talking about.

Re: Possibilities to directly edit dita topics in a ditamap
Perhaps related, we also have writers asking for the ability to create PDF Chemistry PDFs for single topic files or selected branches of a map, but with the variables in the current book being resolved. (I agree that this is not an easy problem to solve!!) Maybe both of these could be built on some ...

Re: Enhance DITA Maps Manager to copy/paste topicrefs using keyref instead of href
Thanks for the extra details, I added them on the opened issue.

Hi Radu, I tried just now. :) As long as the warehouse book is known via a scoped resourc...

Re: Automatically keeping introduction paragraphs with their content
Hi all, Here is a generic version of this auto-pagination plugin, along with an Oxygen project that demonstrates it. pdf_chemistry_auto_paginate.zip Note that in our own environment, we use a specialized @paginate attribute rather than @outputclass, as described here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/forum...

Hi Radu, Thanks! A "Paste as reference" would be great.

What do you think? And...

Re: Enhance DITA Maps Manager to copy/paste topicrefs using keyref instead of href
I should clarify my last statement - this is analogous to the behavior in Oxygen where you drag a topic in the DITA Maps Manager from book A into a topic editing window with a context of book B , and Oxygen automatically creates a keyref-based xref to the topic if the topic's book A key is reachable...

We are looking at using "warehouse books" in our flow.

Re: Using a more recent PDF version for PDF production
I forgot to mention, currently PDF Chemistry seems to create a PDF file with a v1.4 header, but that uses a v1.5 feature (xref streams).
