... This is where I sheepishly admit that there isn't an automatic solution for this, yet. This is what I do: The step that needs to be different on each ...
I tried to play around a little bit with the <imagemap> element and unfortuneatly I could not find lot of tool support. So I moved to html editors to generate...
DITA's <imagemap> element is an example of domain specialization. As such, new attribute names such as "shape" and "coords" could not be introduced. Therefore...
Don Thanks for your feedback. Writing an XSLT to transfer the HTML image map into a DITA <imagemap> is not a big deal indeed, however it needs one additional...
... No, attribute specialization can only be done for *global* attributes (from base= or props=). There's no way to add attributes to a specific element type,...
... That worked, but we need the top level topic. ... I was hoping it was simpler than that, but c'est la vie. You were right. The key is in line 9 of...

Hi, Deborah Thank you for explaining how your build process currently works, and how you handle the platform issue. Most enlightening! This is, presumably,...
... Probably it wouldn't make any difference. Conditional inclusion doesn't solve the arity problem (a <task> can have only one <steps>) any more than does...
I had the same experience. The problem seems to be with the catalog resolver. Without digging to much, I fixed it by forcing it to use saxon (version 6.5.5,...
Hi All, I work in a Windows environment where we don't have access to the command line interface. (Not allowed in case we do some thing stupid.) I may be able...
I used the OT to generate a .chm, but my pages have a lot of extra links I don't want. How do I hide these in the output? These are the link types I'm talking...
Hi, Ant That's an interesting one... I guess the crux of the problem is that Ant scripts are not really executables, as such. They need to be called from...

You really should try to figure this issue out, perhaps doing it the way Fer suggested, since all the customization for the FO plugin depends on this type of...
Depending on your authoring environment, you may even be able to integrate a batch file like this one into your authoring tool. We're doing that now for Epic,...

Hello everybody, Is this the default DITA's behaviour to put notices after the table of contents? This happens in all my PDFs. I thought notices should appear...
Hi Chris, A while ago we investigated the possibility of automatically converting HTML <map> elements into DITA <imagemap> elements. It is not straightforward...
Hi all, I have discovered that you can hack XMLMind XML Editor's CSS stylesheet for DITA to display attributes. This solves what is, to my mind, one of the ...
