Oxygen XML Forum

Hi guys,

I probably have a stupid question, but where can I find elements like esttime, safety or prelreqs (task requirements domain in general) in Oxygen? Or in another words, what would be the step-by-step guide to insert them into a Task type file?

Thanks a lot!

Petr

Hi Petr,
In general if I open a DITA XML task in Oxygen in the Author visual editing mode, I can press ENTER anywhere, let's say in a paragraph and I can choose to insert any element from the task domain, Oxygen should attempt to insert it in the proper location.
In general the specification covers the Task elements:

Hi Radu,

thanks, I think I have found out why it does not work. I always work with Tasks, but there is a specific file type Machinery task and there it works. I suppose:

a) it's not possible to use these elements in general task file?
b) is that possible to convert general task to machinery task via refactoring?

Thanks
Petr

Hi Petr,

The DITA 1.3 specs covers the Machinery Task here:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/spec ... topic.html
Oxygen comes bundled with the DTDs provided by the DITA 1.3 Oasis organization.
I'm afraid we have not created a Task to Machinery Task XML refactoring script (although it's not that hard to do), but it's also quite easy also to do a "Find/Replace in Files" from the Tools menu and replace one DOCTYPE with another.
