I can definitely say that transforming to RTF to produce a book is not only sub-optimal, it's downright ugly. Your best bet is to try to create PDF that meets...
For what it's worth. we have a dita-ot plug-in that transforms FO to WordML (using an affordable 3rd party tool). This allows us to create one XSL-FO style...
Jim, I'll add mention too of the "Framemaker Adapter" plug-in for the DITA Open Toolkit contributed by a collaboration between Mekon, Moldflow, and XMetaL. I...
Don, There are a couple of configuration files you should be able to customize to get the desired result. First up, there's a file that specifies which...
Hi Stuart, You asked about InDesign as a foundation for a single sourcing solution. Can it be done? Yes. Is it a good solution? Not really, compared to the...
... This question is really outside the scope of this list, since it's not an (explicitly) DITA question. But since it can be relevant to DITA users, I will...
A little more on Typefi - I've seen this product in action, and it does what Eliot says. One extra thing to consider, however, is that Typefi runs on InDesign...
... Typefi *runs* with normal InDesign but it's not *licensed* for that use. That is, Adobe requires Typefi to require the use of InDesign server. I understand...
Try something like this in front-matter_1.0.xsl, in the section for <map> processing (ensure that <fo:block> is valid where you insert the code): Â ...
Along the lines of using FrameMaker to create a book from DITA .. I'd be happy to generate a PDF from Frame for anyone that wants to send me some DITA files...
Hi, An update on my attempt to transform a "rather large" set of dita documents (a bookmap grouping few maps and around 7000 topics). It went trough and...
I am looking for the DITA schema in RDF or OWL ontology format. This would save me several days of development when I import into my subject specific ontology....
Hi, Bradley: There may be a misunderstanding. DITA does not offer a method for representing ontologies per se. Instead, DITA provides for the content and...
... DITA 1.2 includes the new Subject Scheme map specialization, which is intended to represent at least taxonomies, if not ontologies. It is not necessarily...
I'm not gonna say how long it took me to figure this out, and I'm still not 100% certain that I've got it right. The context is debugging an FO build issue and...
Thank you very much, Steve and Deborah, for your suggestions! I implemented the Saxon XSLT task first, but ended up going with the Java task because the Saxon...
... I don't think you will notice much difference in performance whichever way you jump. The Ant <xslt> task works out the file list before it hands each file...
Wow, Deborah, that's great info. Thanks so much! Severin From: dita-users@yahoogroups.com [mailto:dita-users@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Deborah Pickett ...
I am using DITA-OT 1.4.1, so I do not have ${fullditatopicfile} in my temp directory. I am able to tokenize the topic list, but do not know how to process it ...
Hi Severin, ... I don't think you'd need to use collection(). You should just be able to use doc() directly on (each item in) your tokenized list of...
We're looking to use DITA/structured writing for documentation and eLearning. We are creating the standards (what DITA types and components do we want to use,...
