Dynamically discard registered trademark symbol

Hi,
We use a lot of variables for product names. The variable values contain the trademark symbols by default. However, the trademark symbol should not be used after the first occurrence. For example, if product A occurs twice, the second occurrence should not have the symbol in the output. Is there a way to discard it from the second occurrence when transformation is run?

Hi,
Could you please specify what kind of framework do you use as source file (DITA)? Also, what type of output do you try to obtain(WebHelp Responsive, PDF, etc) and which transformation do you run in oXygen XML?
Regards,
Ionela

Hi,
Thank you for the response.
Framework is a custom framework based on the default DITA framework.
Outputs = PDF, Webhelp, CHM
We are planning to modify the PDF and webhelp output using CSS customization features.

Hi,
The XSLT stylesheet which outputs the HTML content for the DITA <tm> is located in:
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT3.x/plugins/org.dita.html5/xsl/topic.xsl
There is an XSLT template which matches the <tm> element:
Code: Select all
<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' topic/tm ')]" name="topic.tm">
and maybe you can create an HTML customization XSLT which overrides this stylesheet and avoids outputting the trademark symbol if in the same file there has been a previous trademark.

Radu

Hi Radu,
Thanks for directing me to that xsl file. I could find a solution by overriding the <xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' topic/tm ')]" name="topic.tm">.
Code: Select all
<xsl:variable name="usebody">
<xsl:choose>
<!-- ANTONY TERRENCE custom start-->
<xsl:when test="parent::*[contains(@class,'topic/ph')]/text()=preceding::*[contains(@class, ' topic/ph ')][not(parent::*[contains(@class, 'topic/title')])]/text()" >skip</xsl:when>
<!-- ANTONY TERRENCE custom end-->
The only requirement is that the product names should be within the <ph> element.

Antony Terrence
