Oxygen XML Forum

Hi Everybody,

I’m new using Oxygen and I need to know if it is possible to create a Global Variable that allows me to reference it in multiples Dita files.In other hand, if this is possible, I’d like to know if I change the Global Variable this change will occur in all the files that reference it. Perhaps you can send an example of it.

Also, is it possible to create a Tag to set a property that allows me to hide an item in the transformation and don't show it??

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

oXygen supports the default DITA mechanism for reusing content fragments in DITA documents.
Read the Reusing Content topic from our online documentation to find how you can create and use DITA reusable components from oXygen:

You can also watch the next video demonstration:

The DITA Open Toolkit used by Oxygen to publish DITA content to various output sources uses a filter file with the extension .ditaval to filter elements based on various profiling attribute values:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/OS ... taval.html

The Oxygen transformation scenario dialog contains a Filters tab where you can either specify a custom ditaval file or allow Oxygen to automatically generate one for you either by using the current applied Profiling/Condition Set or by filling in a table with the attribute names and values which should be excluded.

You can read here about Profiling/Conditional Text in oXygen XML Editor:

We also have some video demonstrations with the DITA Profiling support in Oxygen which you might find useful:
