[oXygen-user] Inserting current date into DITA file

[Frank Dissinger]

Hi Radu,


Thank you for your reply. I am afraid I am not XSLT-savvy enough to 
adapt sketched code and I have never created any DITA-OT plugin. I would 
need the exact code and precise instructions where to put that code in 
the CHM transformation...


I wonder whether the following solution I found for MiramoPDF could be 
adapted to oXygen's CHM transformation?



Copyright.dita

<ph audience="print" outputclass="current_year">

...\Oxygen XML Editor 
21\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT3.x\plugins\com.miramo.oris-mmpdf\config\xsl\custom.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
     xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
exclude-result-prefixes="xs opentopic" version="2.0"
     xmlns:mm="http://www.miramo.com/XSL/Transform"
     xmlns:opentopic="http://www.idiominc.com/opentopic">
     <xsl:include href="./functionstubs.xsl"/>

*<xsl:variable name="bc.currentDate" select="format-date(current-date(), 
'[Y0001]')"/>
     <xsl:template match="*[@outputclass = 'current_year']" >
            <xsl:value-of select="$bc.currentDate" />
     </xsl:template>*

</xsl:stylesheet>

Could this code be added somewhere in the CHM transformation?

Regards,
Frank
