Re: Custom DITA-OT parameters for custom PDF

Hi Patrik, this is indeed possible. You should read Passing parameters to existing XSLT steps . Take a look at the ~/dita-ot-2.x.x/plugins/org.dita.pdf2/build.xml and search for args . This should help you. Depending on what you are trying to achieve, it is also possible to generate new XSL-Styleshe...

Re: auto-generate topicref attributes based on topic type

Thanks Radu, :D I did not know that. This cascading behavior is quite strange.

In that case ...

Sort definition list of current file without resolving implicit attributes

Hi, I have a small XSLT that sorts a definition list. In a transformation scenario I defined: XML URL: ${currentFileURL} XSL URL: myScript.xsl Output file: ${currentFileURL} So the source file is the output file, too. Sample Topic <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE ...
