I have discovered that content in a <shortdesc> element embedded within an <abstract> is not being rendered in PDF, contrary to what's described in your documentation. For example I have this: <abstract> <shortdesc>My introductory paragraph in the short desc.</shortdesc> Other text in the abstract f...

This is unfortunate. Is this a defect that will be resolved?

And can you tell me how to do this?

refer from the chapter DITA Map the DITA Map which defines the keys

Thanks.

We maintain several .xml files containing strings that are used frequently, for example: our product name, our company name. We've placed these string files in its own directory and they are referenced their own ditamap. We reference them using a conkeyref like this: <ph conkeyref="strings-prod...

Hi. Here is the topic: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/m/dita1.2_spec/archSpec/ditamap-attributes.html The part that mislead me is this sentence: "It is not included in navigation or search results, nor is it rendered as a topic." But as I look at it again, I realize that this part of your d...

Yes, that would be a good enhancement request. At least then the system behaviour will match your documentation!

Alternatively, log a doc bug. Right now, your documentation incorrectly states that using processing-role="resource-only" excludes the topics from the search.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know about the search="no" attribute. I was under the impression that, based on your documentation, setting processing-role="resource-only" automatically excludes the topics from search. Are you saying that I must also add the search="no" at...

In our project, we have a ditamap named "_reuse". It has this attribute: <map processing-role="resource-only"> This ditamap references several child ditamaps. For example: <mapref href="data_metadata.ditamap" format="ditamap"/> These child maps also have "...

Hi Radu. The key references problem went away once I fixed all the validation and transformation issues.

Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

Hi Radu. I am using OxygenXML Author 20.1, build 2018080903. I checked the settings for the PDF transformation and it already shows "true" for fix.external.refs.com.oxygenxml There were a number of errors and warnings after the transformation, but none that obviously relate to referenced m...

Hi. I'm new to OxygenXML and to Dita. I'm taking over a doc set from a previous writer. He made liberal use of key references to reference topics. This has caused problems in our PDF output for some reason. What I've seen so far: The referenced topic simply disappears, leaving a blank space that our...

Thank you! Turning off this option did the trick.

Do these information messages indicate anything that I should look into?

Hello. I am new to OxygenXML and new to DITA as well. When I perform a PDF transform, I get many errors like these: [DOTJ065I] Branch filter generated topic _reuse/manage_current_filter.dita used more than once. Renaming _reuse/manage_current_filter.dita to _reuse/manage_current_filter-2.dita. [DOTJ...
