Hi Bogdan,

I did some further testing and it looks as if our customized WebHelp is the culprit because I can reproduce the error with standard DITA files using our WebHelp transformation. I send you sample files and output via technical support.

Kind regards,
Frank

I couldn't reproduce the error with standard DITA files, either. So it looks as if there's something wrong with our DTD customization. I will do some more testing and report back.

JFTR, Magda Caloian has created an oXygen framework for building a DITA project from a content outline. Authors will insert the topic titles, type and level, then the project structure is generated, including project file, ditamap, topics: https://github.com/mgcalo/model2dita

Hi Radu,

Thanks for your quick reply. That's what I would expect. I will double-check and report back.

Kind regards,

Hi, I've successfully added the default Author Action " section " to Content Completion ; this action already inserts a <title> element. This works as expected when using Content Completion in Author mode. However, when I also add the action to the Element View , my new item " section...

Hi Radu,

Many thanks for these valuable pointers!

Hi, I'm working on a DITA PDF plugin customization . While working on the XSLT files I get a lot of warnings and error messages, for example: XTSE0650: No template exists named insertVariable I know that using Master Files is the solution but I cannot figure out which XSL files to use. The Detecting...

Hi Alex,

Thanks for these instructions. I will give the add-ons mechanism a try and report back.

Hi Alex,

Your plugin works like a charm! Many thanks.

Is there a way to deploy the plugin together with our custom DITA framework so the user doesn't have to have write access to [OXYGEN_DIR]\plugins?

Best regards,
Frank

Hi Radu,

Thanks again for this detailed information. I will give it a try when tampering with the Author Actions next time

Kind regards,
Frank

Hi Alex,

Many thanks for your quick reply and this pointer. I will give your plugin a try and report back.

Kind regards,
Frank

Thanks for this additional pointer, Radu.

Hi Radu, Thanks for your quick reply. As we have also use cases where we use sections without a title, making the title a required element is unfortunately not an option for this project. But come to think of it. How does oXygen know whether an Author Action is valid at a given position? Usually, th...

Hi, Content Completion For another project, I face a similar problem: When inserting a <section>, the section should also automatically get a <title> (which is not required by the schema). The default "section" Author Action does this already (but is only triggered via a menu or a toolbar)...

Hi, I've created an DITA Author Action which adds an ID to a topic based on the topic's file name . Currently, I trigger this action with a button but it would be more elegant to trigger this action automatically with every file save. I've already read Set prolog revised date on save? and it looks a...

Hi George,

Thanks for your quick reply and the pointers. I will try those and report back.

Kind regards,
Frank

Hi Radu, sorry, I'm using oXygen 16.1 with the enclosed DITA-OT 1.8.5. Here's an excerpt from my subject scheme map: <subjectScheme> <title>Automotive Subject Scheme</title> <hasInstance> <subjectdef keys="models"> <subjectdef keys="taifun" navtitle="parson Taifun" /> <...

Hi, I'm getting the following message when working with a single subject scheme map. [DOTJ045I] The key "models" is defined more than once in the same map file. The reference href="" is ignored. The map looks and works ok. http://www.dita-ot.org/1.8/readme/DITA-messages.html#msgs...

Hi, I face the same problem now while working on a RNG attribute domain module even when adding all document type files to the Master Files . I suppose this is because I'm defining only attributes in this file but no elements so there cannot be a <start> tag. How can I circumvent this problem? Kind ...

Hi Radu, Thanks for this explanation. After giving the issue some more thought I noticed that using the ${framework} variable on the DITA settings page cannot work because at any given time there might be more than one framework active. I will use your solution and override the DITA setting in our c...

Hi Radu, That was indeed the reason. I use a separate DITA framework which is integrated into oXygen as an additional framework ( Options > Preferences > Document Type Association > Location ). With oXygen 16 that was enough to also point oXygen to that framework's DITA-OT. With oXygen 17 I have to ...

Many thanks for your quick reply, Radu! I think this might indeed be the culprit. I will check and report back.

Hi, I've created a DITA RNG specialization as a DITA-OT plugin (http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/17.0/ug-editor/#topics/dita-integrate-specialization.html): <plugin id="com.company-name.dita.rng"> <feature extension="dita.specialization.catalog.relative" file="catalog.x...

And here's part 2 (by Alex Jitianu) - great stuff! "Controlled Attribute Values (Part 2 - Advanced)"

Hi Bogdan,

Thanks for testing. I will try to reproduce the behavior with standard DITA files to make sure it has nothing to do with our customizations and report back.

Kind regards,
Frank

PDF customization is a bit more tricky. See DITA to PDF Output Customization for instructions.

Hi Samuel, You can add these labels using CSS. Here's a sample from my WebHelp CSS for task prerequisites: div.prereq:before{ content:"Prerequisites: "; } See C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Author 16\frameworks\dita\css_classed\reference.css for sample CSS. And use a tool like Firebug to insp...

I did some more testing and got some strange results. One of the DITA frameworks is based on DTD, the other on RELAX NG (RNG). It looks as if only links to RNG files are displayed correctly, and this only if they themselves are embedded in an RNG file: RNG file DTD <xref>: " xref_target_DTD.htm...

Hi, I'm using to different oXygen 16 frameworks which supposedly should produce identical WebHelp output. However, one displays links in the wrong way. Instead of displaying the title of the target DITA topic, the following DITA code <xref href="xref_target.dita"> shows as xref_target.html...

Thanks for the pointer, Bogdan. And sorry for my misunderstanding. I will try that and report back.

Kind regards,
Frank
