Hello, We needed to customise the layout of our PDF so we created a new plug-in directory.(we followed the DITA OT documentation). When we run the transformation directly from the command line, it works fine. Now I am trying to implete the plug-in directory to make it work with Oxygen, and I am unab...

Hello,
thanks it works fine.
I was wondering, if I create a new css file to keep intact Oxygen's original file, in wich file should I make the file name change to point to my new CSS?
I am sorry, it is perhaps a basic question, but I always struggle to make the links between all files.

Regards

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to create a clean PDF of the Dita Map, with all topics, and tracked changes included to the topics. We are using the PDF for review purposes and we need the entire document to be sent, with changes clearly identified. I tried opening the dita map in the auth...

Hello, When I tried to generate a single topic with PDF scenario, it says that is what successfull, it says that the PDF was sent to the out folder, but it is not there.

Hello, I have links in my documentation that point to an .avi file. Validation and generation is significantly slowed down, takes forever. If I insert a link that point to a website, it does not slow down. So I am figuring that during validation and generation Oxygen tries to open the avi file? Is t...

hello, heum, I did not succeed.I changed the topic.css file as you suggested.I do have to admit that I did it blindly. I am totally CSS ignorant. 8-) Then in my xml file I inserted the xref using the xref element in the element list. Then I generated the webhelp. and the link was there, functional, ...

Hello Radu,

does this mean that when you edit a transformation scenario, under the parameters tab, that the args.hide.parent.link and args.breadcrumb parameters don't do anything? and this is why I don't get the expected effect i.e. to hide the links?

Best Regards

Hello, is there a parameter that I can use in my transformation scenario that could display a back link? The parent topic and the bread crumb parameter bring back the user to the parent topic. Users don<t always want to go back to the parent topic, but just to the previous page. I understand that th...

Hello, I use weblinks in my documents but the link that is displayed is very long and ugly. I was wondering if there was a way to shorten the link so that it displays only a 2 or 3 word link.

Hello Radu, Yup, the title is in the FO file. We added 2 images on front page, and displayed the revision number and an underline. The FO file does not contain the revision number. But I cannot find any attribute that could cause the problem. I commented out what we added but the title does not disp...

Hello, When I generate a PDF from a Dita map, the title page is blank. What puzzles me is that just a few days ago it was generating properly. We customized the front-matter-attr.xsl to format layout and image appearing on title page. The ditamap attributes are the same and the image we use on the t...

Hello,

The long line in the TOC breaks properly but it is not aligned with the first part of the line. How can I get it to be properly aligned on the left side.

Hello Radu, yes, if I remove all language attributes in the dita map and topics but set the args.default.language defined in the list of Parameters for the transformation scenario it works, provided the strings-lang1-lang2.xml located in DITA-OT/xsl/common folder is complete. For most languages the ...

Hello Radu, I downloaded Oxygen 13 and tried generating 8 languages from the same Dita folder. Actually it worked fine. It was easy to change the static labels as they are ALL in the same file. I just needed to set the language attribute on the dita map AND on each file inlcuded in the Ditamap. I al...

Hello, we use Webhelp and PDF transformation scenarios. we need to generated our webhelps in 8 different languages. Therefore element tags need to be translated. At the time, the only way I figured to be able to generate the webhelps in different languages was to hack the dita folder in Frameworks :...

heum..... In the PDF transformation senario the element labels do not display even if I set the parameter to yes. However the TOC label is displayed in French as specified in the laguage attribute of the file. In the WebHelp transformation scenario the element labels are displayed but not in the lan...

Hello, Is there a way to display the labels of the elements in a PDF for example to display the word Result when the result element is used? The out of the box dita pdf transformation scenario does not do it. Also, will these element labels be translated if the language parameter is used for another...

Yup plenty on customization. We added a page break to topic.topic.title in ...\DITA-OT\demo\fo\cfg\fo\attrs\commons-attr.xsl. because we wanted the child topic references to "page break". But by doing so the page break is also applied to the topic heading. Is there a way to have a page bre...

Hello, I use topic headings in documents that are generated in either a Webhelp or a PDF. The webhelp output is ok. But when I generate as a PDF, the topic heading appears on a single page, looks odd. Is there a way to remove the page break and to change the font and style of it? Would it be possibl...

The file is commons-attr.xsl

in Oxygen XML Author 12\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\demo\fo\cfg\fo\attrs\

Yup. but with no success.

Hello, I have read the previous post on this subject but I do not have the specified file. ${oxygen_install_dir}/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/xsl/xslfo/dita2fo-params.xsl. Has the way to force page breaks in the pdf changed with the 12.1 version? The only file I have is the dita2fo-parms.xsl. Basically w...

Hello,

is there an easy and elegant way in Oxygen to count the words of all the files in a ditamap, including the topicheads? Of course it needs to include only the actual text that I wrote without the attibutes, elements, script etc.

Thanks

thank you, it solved the problem.

Hello, When I generate a PDF from a Dita map, some topic titles displayed in the TOC are too long to fit on one line. I end up with the text of the long title overlapping the next line. The TOC becomes unreadable. Is there a way to force a line brake in the TOC when there is to much text to be displ...
