It seems that xsl is not the problem, yet, anyway. I recommend that you isolate the problem, which means you need to work directly in the xsl-fo (*.fo) file....
Suite Solutions is offering an ongoing live webinar series to help you use the DITA Open Toolkit and implement effective best practices. Each webinar focuses...
How can I reference a step by number when that number could change? For example, if I have this content: 1. Dig the hole. 2. Drop in the seed. 3. Cover the...
Hi Dave The mechanism to reference a step is the cross-reference (xref) element. A step is a specialised list item, so you need to use the "li" type in the...
The problem is that the ditaval file couldn't be found. And why that is depends on the way you arranged your DITA environment. Can you processing a ditamap...
Hi Dave, Interesting question. If I understand you correctly, Step 4 is not in the same structure that you're bringing in with conref. As long as you have an...
Yes, Ben. I can process a ditamap without setting conditions. Even when the condition is set; the ditamap is processed and PDF is generated. However, the...
With our current installation of the DITA toolkit 1.4.2.1 and even the newest 1.5.1 seem to have the following issue. When you have a ditamap that points to a...
I've finally carved out some time to dive into the 'plus plugins' to test their capabilities for handling SVGs and such. But right off the bat, I've hit an...
I'm tidying up a set of files. I'd like a way to check all image and xref links. Looking at the OT log file, it seems I have some broken links, but it's not...
Hi Kalpana, Based on what I see in what you passed to the build, you're looking for sample.ditaval in base_dir which, if I remember correctly, should be the...
Hi Joe, We have a utility that does exactly this - there was a discussion a couple weeks ago where I offered it for free for anyone who wants it. I have it on...
Hi, Here at Suite Solutions, Aryeh Sanders has created a basic prototype for a style designer for DITA PDF style sheets. We are evaluating the effort to turn...
Joe, I have made available two different scripts that will help you: 1. ditadebug.php - for one or more ditamaps, lists bad references and other things like...
... Thank you for the information. I studied this document and also studied XLIFF and xml:tm technology. Looks very good, but how to use it? I understand that...
Julio has right. Here are the details for my setup. 1) Default installation Java jdk 1.6.0.20 2) Default installation of Microsoft HTML Workshop 3) Default...
Hi Joe, I am also interested in the utility to put all the files referenced in a ditamap in a separate folder (or folders). Look forward to you posting this on...
Thanks, Dick. Joe's utilities fixed my immediate problems well, but I'll try the ditarepair.py script when I get time. I'm interested in what you're doing with...
It seems best practice in XML generally to not use language tags that are overly specific. From RFC5646<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5646#section-4.1> ... Use...
For short installation guides I use ditamaps (in contrast to bookmaps) to render the PDF-Output. Where in the FO-Plugin can I find the place to omitt the title...
... There is no need to use xml:tm when translating DITA projects. It provides in-context exact matches at the expense of adding extra markup to your DITA...
Hi clausp2, My guess is that you have a file among that 10 which links to one or more of the other 90, and that the linked-to files link to more of the 90. By ...
Hi Joe, The OT will recognize two letter or four letter versions inside the content. The string files that store generated text all use four letter versions,...
Hello Robert, Thanks for your comment. You are correct in your observations. This is exactly what has happened. I just wasn't aware of OT doing this. I've...
hello everyone, I'm a DITA beginner, and I have a question about document headers ( for PDF-output) How can I make a two-line header? For example: [Book title]...
Hi All: I thought I would send you a note about the new training we have coming up in a few weeks. It's going to be very useful for people struggling with the...
Thanks, Eric and Michael. Indeed, it was an old version of Saxon that was the culprit. A LONG time ago, I set my environment variables to point to a C:\saxon...
