Re: How to copy resource files to DocBook WebHelp Classic output?

Hi Bob, Actually, the "webhel.custom.resources" parameter is available by default also for the DocBook WebHelp Classic transformation scenario as well, like you can see in the screenshot below (I double checked on the latest version 22.0 of oXygen XML Editor). https://i.ibb.co/7W8qKkT/Cust...

Re: WebHelp Responsive: Shared topics not linked correctly

Hi, Indeed, the XPath is applied for each topic in the root map. However, in this case, you could run the XPath on the expanded DITA Map that contains the submaps and their topicrefs. Such a DITA Map is available in the temporary folder created at transformation runtime. In order to keep that map av...

Re: Collapse and expand individual sections in topic

Hi Mark,

Please provide more details on the 1st request.

As for the additional request, there is the "webhelp.topic.collapsible.elements.initial.state" parameter, that you could use and set it's value to "collapsed". By default, the sections are expanded.
