Oxygen XML Forum

I have been working with the new version of oxygen, and when I try to use the "DITA to HTML" transformation scenario on a ditamap, I get:

[/map {"- map/map "}) [/map/topicref {"- map/topicref "}) [/map/topicref/topicref {"- map/topicref "}) (topicref] (topicref] (map]

I based my test ditamap (see below for the XML I used) on what is provided when you create a new "DITA - Map". I created concept and task files based on the application defaults as well, and put them in a folder named "topics" in the folder where "test-map.xml" is stored. I also tried a version of this experiment in which the topic map file name ended in ".ditamap," with the same results.

What do I need to do to create an HTML document based on these three files?

Thanks,
Rebecca

Dear Rebecca,

Thank you for contacting us.

For the 9.0 version we decided to provide predefined DITA scenarios only for transforming DITA topics, tasks or concepts to HTML or PDF.
We provided the scenarios because we thought the users may find it useful to see how the topic they are currently editing looks like in HTML or PDF.

The usual way to transform a DITA project (including topics, maps) to HTML or PDF is by using a build.xml file and the ant support available in DITA OT.

We distribute part of the DITA OT in our framework directory including all DITA stylesheets however for transforming maps the DITA OT libraries are also required.
They can be found in the full DITA OT toolkit:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=132728

Basically, in order to create a HTML for a DITA map you have to create a scenario in which to apply the "xsl/map2htmtoc.xsl" from the DITA OT and add to the scenario as extensions the jar files which are found in the DITA OT "lib" directory.
The scenario "FILEREF" parameter also needs to be configured (usually to "./") so that the stylesheet resolves correctly the map references.

Before creating the HTML output of the map, the topic and task files will need to be transformed separately using the DITA to HTML default scenario already defined in Oxygen.
