Use of <i> tag causing strange output in PDF
Posted: Wed Dec 05, 2012 10:54 pm
v14.1 (thought i saw the same issue in 13.2)
DITA-OT 1.5.3
I’ve found a minor PDF error that I’m hoping you can help me with.
Whenever I apply the italic tag <i>, it creates an “@” in the PDF output. For example, if the code applies the key variable <ph id="bookTitle"><i>Granite Core Installation Guide</i></ph> in content, the PDF output shows:
“The @Granite Core Installation Guide [bolded for emphasis] describes how…”
Before you ask, yes, I tried moving the <i> tags to the content instead the key variable (“The <i><ph conkeyref="bookname/bookTitle"/></i> describes how…”) and the result was the same.
HOWEVER when I use an html transform, I do not get this issue. Because only the PDF is affected, I assume it’s something in the PDF config in the DITA OT.
