Import profiling colors and styles from ditaval

[Heidi]

Hi,

there is a possibility to import profiling colors and styles from a ditaval:
Editor > Edit modes > Author > Profiling/Conditional Text > Colors and Styles

But I don't find how to write the styles uand colors in the ditaval. My ditaval looks like that:

Code: Select all

<val>
    <prop action= "exclude" att="product" val="AB"/>
    <prop action= "include" att="product" val="XY"/>
</val>

I could set the attribute color or style in the prop-element, but that would change the output and not the styling in the author mode. It would be great if the whole team could easily import the colors and styles from a ditaval.
Can anyone help?

Thank you!
Heidi

Hello Heidi,

The flagging examples here are kind of complex and Oxygen's import does not support them all:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/spec ... l-val.html
but we support stuff like this:

Code: Select all

<prop action="flag" att="product" backcolor="blue"  color="yellow" style="underline" val="MyProd"/>

so you can set a color, bg color and a style for a certain attribute name with a certain value, then import the DITAVAL in Oxygen.
And you can also use the same ditaval file for publishing.

Regards,
Radu

Hi Heidi,

Currently, Oxygen stores the imported DITAVAL information in the Oxygen .xpr file. To change/add/remove colors, the .xpr file must be updated and redistributed.

We filed enhancement request EXM-47205 to import DITAVAL dynamically at runtime:

Feature Request: Have an Oxygen project obtain all profiling condition information from DITAVAL file

Then, writers could change/add/remove conditions as needed without redistributing updated .xpr files. I thought I would mention it in case it sounds useful to you.

Hi Radu and Chris,

thank you for your answers. When I want to import the Colors and Styles (button "Import from DITAVAL" in "Editor / Edit Modes / Author / Profiling/Conditional Text / Colors and Styles"), I get the message: "No profiling style was detected from the selected DITAVAL file(s)." No matter if I write the colors or the codes:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<val>
    <prop action= "exclude" att="product" val="A" color="#ff00ff"/>
    <prop action= "include" att="product" val="B" color="#00aa00"/>
    <prop action= "exclude" att="product" val="C" color="#ff9933"/>
    <prop action= "exclude" att="product" val="D" color="#00ffff"/>
    <prop action= "include" att="product" val="BC" color="#0000ff"/>
    <prop action= "exclude" att="product" val="CD" color="#ffe000"/>
    <prop action= "exclude" att="props" val="WP" style="underline"/> 
    <prop action= "exclude" att="props" val="WPM" style="double-underline"/>
</val>

Have you any clue why the import of Colors and Styles don't work?
The Import in "Editor / Edit Modes / Author / Profiling/Conditional Text / Attributes and Condition Sets" work fine.

Thank you
Heidi

Hi again,
it has to be the "flag" action. Now it works.

Thank you two
