Does anyone know of a good index automation tool that knows how to parse DITA 1.1 content and use appropriate tags to help authors markup content quickly? Yes,...
Many thanks. I'll see if I can get a batch pretty-print going to clean up the weirdness across all 4,700 files. I'm debugging converted DITA files that still...
Anyone know how or whether it is possible to change the symbols used for a list item? I'd like simplelists to display as check boxes. My guess is that I can...
Moments ago we activated the fifth milestone build of DITA-OT 1.5 at SourceForge, under the "test build" section of the download page (DITA OT 1.5 M5): ...
... (Assuming you are talking the pdf2 transform.) pdf2 puts no marker on simple lists. If you want to change that, edit the XSL in fo/xsl/fo/lists.xsl and...
On the off chance that you don't want to do this to all simple lists, consider using outputclass to trigger the checkoff for you. You can then use an XSL...

Hi Deborah, Indeed this seems to fix the problem. I'll let the user know about this. Thanks very much, Regards, Radu -- Radu Coravu <oXygen/> XML Editor,...
Hi DITAdepts, I raised this issue about a year ago: Apparently, <indexterm> is not allowed in <title>. I was wondering why not? If your titles are carefully...
Hi, I have a question about customizing stylesheets in the DITA OT. I'm no expert, but I have customized a lot of stylesheets for other DTD models before. None...
I'm actually glad to hear that from someone with experience with other style sheets. DITA is my first dive into XSL, and I've also found that customizing...
I would prefer not to index the title even if it were allowed. Titles are always associated with a parent container element, and it is the parent container...
Yves, Even though you can’t put an indexterm directly into the title, you can surround the title with a <ph> element and in the <ph> element put indexterm. ...
I need to raise a dissenting voice on this. The lack of support for <indexterm> within <title> is one of my larger pet peeves about DITA. I wish I had pushed...
Hiya - Using the ph tag is indeed the only real mechanism for getting indexterms into a title. I kind of think of the ph tag is "DITA's crescent wrench." You...

Hi all, I just joined this list yesterday. I've been doing our docs in DocBook XML for three years now, with pretty good results. But we are thinking of...
Hi, I can sympathize with your frustrations. While a number of people have written pages and blogs about how to customize the OT, those only get you so far. ...

EMC has done a few DocBook to DITA conversions. We started out with the docbook2dita plugin (a free download from Sourceforge) and customized it for our own...
I respectfully disagree. Instead of providing a logical container for indexterm, title provides a familiar container for those used to writing in WYSIWYG...
I think you need to ensure that the template matching the input XML structure is actually calling the attribute set. The <shortdesc> attribute set can...
