Re: Find/Replace in files appears to use a stale index sometimes

I have seen a similar behavior with XSLT refactoring file operations. Sometimes while working on a refactoring operation, I will run it to the "Preview" point in the refactoring dialog box sequence. If I want to change the results, I edit the .xsl file, then go back from the Preview and cl...

Re: Transform same file differently from different logical folders

Hi riks,

Are these DITA files that you are transforming to publish their content? If so, you could probably use DITA-OT project files to get almost exactly what you want. (If they are non-DITA XML files, then that wouldn't work for you.)

Re: Able to Reference Multiple Schematron Files in Configure validation engine?

Hi Daniel, There is also a DITA (not DITA Map ) framework that applies to .dita files instead of .ditamap files. If you extend it and add your Schematron checks there, you should get what you want. Having separate control over map and topic validations is nice. We had separate sets of checks for each.
