I'm still really really new at this so please be gentle. :-) I'm creating individual reference topics for each command in our CLI. The programmer has asked if...
Has anyone successfully upgraded to the latest version of the Open Toolkit with XMetaL Enterprise Edition 5.1? I've changed the DITA_OT_DIR parameter to point...
... I don't have 5.1 yet, but I was able to get 5.0 working with OT 1.4.1. You are probably better off with instructions from XM support than following my...
XMetal support has replied: "...release of 1.4.1 vs 1.4 the DITA OT has been changed quite substantially and though you can direct XMetaL to use it with the...
It gets special :-) when you did DITA for some time, started to feel comfortable and then do the first specialization on topic level. Here are my coordinates: ...
Kudos to XMetaL! They have addressed the problem with a "beta" install procedure for OT 1.4.1. Thanks to Derek and Andrew for their great customer support....
Is this install procedure going to be published? It looks like we need to upgrade to 1.4.1, to fix some of the "move-meta-entries" errors we have, when running...
The beta fix we've sent to Don can be downloaded from the following location: http://na.justsystems.com/files/kb/XMEE51_DITA_141_Beta_Install.zip The download...
We are experimenting with pulling smaller maps into a bookmap. My child map has this syntax: <map> <topicref format="dita" href="topic_a.xml"/> <topicref...
Hi everyone, The XMetaL R&D team would like to ask you a few questions on how you're currently using XMetaL. Your responses will help us to better design ...
Hi everyone, We've found that the following syntax will produce one chapter, with all topics from the child map in it. You don't need to use the "chunk"...
First, thanks to everyobody who answered my question before. I'm much further along and am really getting into using DITA for my docs now. That said... I have...
Answering myself again... please disregard. It was a disconnect between the chair and the keyboard (or a misplaced glossary). Thanks! ... From: joanne grey...
We've made tremendous progress on this, we can select a map and it pulls in all the children (topics and images). The topics are hauled in using the correct...
The Documentum XML Application for your map needs to be modified to specify what object_type to create when it encounters image hrefs. By default, the XML...
We've updated our import application and apparently succeeded. Sometimes, finding all the details on these processes is like the Amazing Race... without the...
I have two questions related to table of contents (tocs). Apologies in advance -- I'm not a dita output person, so feel free to direct me to a specific place...
For DITA-specific questions, you may also try the DITA users group on http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/ (in case there is no one already here that...
When I click on a particular inline element that has a class attribute set and look at the Attribute Inspector, I see all the potential attributes for that...
Hi Bob, You're right that you should not use the class attribute in your files. All DITA based processors are expected to work based off of the class attribute...
Thanks Robert! Bob ________________________________ From: xmetal-dita@yahoogroups.com [mailto:xmetal-dita@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Robert D Anderson Sent:...
I confirm both Bobs' conclusions re: XMetaL's behaviour, and add a nugget: If it is nevertheless necessary for you to view/edit your DITA class attributes in...
How are you all handling relationship tables? This is one of the things that has us tied up in knots. We create the relationship tables, and as the document...
