Re: CSS-based PDF: Don't need the cover and TOC pages

Thanks Costin. I couldn't make the XSL solution work, but I suspect it might be that I'm using the jumping off points wrong. I'll keep working on it. More importantly, I was at least able to fix my links by resetting the "page" target-counter in my CSS file. I still have to remove the blan...

Part of my job is creating procedural documents (between 2-6 pages). These are designed to be printed and used by a technician without access to power or internet.

Re: CSS-based PDF: Changes to DPI

OK, I fixed this, but still feel like I shouldn't have had to do this.

My jpg image is specified as 300 dpi. The pdf transform is changing the pdi. I used the following css to force the pdi to 300 dpi:

*[class ~= "topic/image"] {
image-resolution: 300dpi;
}

Re: Apply formatting to first column of table based on "otherprops" attribute value

Would a find and replace of some kind not work?

You could do a simple find and replace across all your legacy files:

FIND: otherprops=cheader
REPLACE: outputclass=cheader

Alternatively, you could do some kind of xpath, xquery, xslt hacking to change all your source files.

Re: In Oxygen 20.1, why is webhelp classic deprecated?

OK. Will it continue to exist in future versions of Oxygen, or will it be removed in a later release?

The webhelp responsive is definitely amazing, so I get it. But the webhelp classic definitely does have a place, in my opinion.

When generating classic webhelp, it's possible to click and hold the line between the left-side table of content and the right side content, and move the divider left and right.

Is it possible to disable this?
