Re: Webhelp: internal Links not working

Hi MicTie,

I made a testcase and it seems to work for me:

webhelp_link_to_table.zip
(2.46 KiB) Downloaded 106 times

Can you try it on your side and see if it works for you?

Hi NovaNowhere,

You could visit the Oxygen Styles Basket page and create some CSS styles there, then look at the resulting files.

Re: Using the topicref copy-to attribute with WebHelp output

Hi Dan, Costin, I made a testcase here: ditaot_copy_to_content_keyref.zip I can confirm the issue with keyrefs to content inside copy-to'ed topics. Dan, this is a DITA-OT issue that also occurs with the basic html5 transformation, so I suggest filing a DITA-OT issue here . I also tried reproducing b...

Re: Auto Links adding

Hi Mr. User,

What kind of links are you adding? If they are links to subtopics in that section (a "local table of contents"), you could try this plugin:

DITA-mini-toc-element

But that is a guess and your needs are probably different.

Do not create the indexTerms.html file when webhelp.show.indexterms.link==no

Currently, WebHelp always creates the indexTerms.html file, even if the webhelp.show.indexterms.link parameter is set to no . In our situation, we have legacy <indexterm> elements in our content that we do not actively update. We set webhelp.show.indexterms.link==no to avoid publishing them. Unfortu...

Re: DITA 1.3 Cross-Deliverable Links

Hi Ray,

I am not sure. As this is my script and not a Syncro Soft product, you will probably want to make a small testcase and submit an issue here:

And we can continue discussion in that issue's worklog.

Re: Custom icons before the text

Hello Mr. User, This looks like you are trying to customize <note> elements. The customization work depends on which transformations you are using. Each transformation is configured differently. The CSS-based transformations (pdf-css-html5, html, and webhelp-responsive) are the easiest to configure.

Hi Koushik, That is correct. This would need to be fixed in the Java code, and that is going to be something difficult to do yourself. If I were you, I suggest (1) adding a comment to Radu's DITA-OT issue to add your support for it, and (2) make long-term plans (if possible) to move to current DITA-...

Re: How to reduce the indent from the pictures - to the titles of them (the title is located at the bottom)?

Dan, I just realized something. If you are already setting margins to zero and you still see spacing, then the whitespace might be a part of the image itself, and you will need to edit the image.

Re: How to reduce the indent from the pictures - to the titles of them (the title is located at the bottom)?

Hi Dan, Try this testcase: chemistry_figures_for_dan.zip You will need to transform from the map, not the topic, so the CSS is applied: image.png Hi Syncro Soft, Somehow the @scale attribute does not seem to be working in the PDF Chemistry transformation. You might want to take a look.

Re: An error is reported when exporting a PDF document

Yes, although it's very difficult to read any text in the screen captures. What you're looking at there is the Java stack trace, which means that the failure has already happened. Try scrolling up and looking for the first instance of where some kind of error-looking message occurred.

My understanding of DITA attribute specialization is as follows:
  • If you will filter with it using DITAVAL, specialize from @props.
  • If not, specialize from @base.
