The versions of Documentum Content Server, Webtop, Tomcat, and the JVM we are using here are the same that you are using. You did not mention what operating...
Hi, I'm having a problem with my first attempt at using a conref in XMetaL 4.6 SP2. Output is HTML Help. Have created a 'Reusable Component', which is a...
Hi Ken, When a reference fails to resolve, it is often because of a problem with a file or folder name. Check the name of your topic file, the name of your...
Hi Su-Laine, Thanks for the info. I believe all my file and folder names are good. I've got this working now but can only do this by 'manually' entering the...
Ken - I can't insert a conref by going to the element list and inserting a <conref> tag. So I've started inserting them using Insert > Link > conref and that...
Liz, You can often assign your own shortcut key to a menu command in XMetaL as follows. (It works for "Insert element with conref" and "Attach conref" in...
Tom -- you're right. Conref is an attribute. I was temporarily confusing it with xref which I've also been inserting from the menus, not from the element list....
Hi, All: I'm trying to create a DITA Bookmap in XMetaL. I've created my topics, referenced them into the Bookmap, and have added the figurelist and tablelist...
Hi Christina, I believe that lists of figures and tables are currently not generated. This is a limitation of the DITA Open Toolkit, which is invoked by the ...
Hi Christina, We use our own XSLT to generate all the indexes for tables, figures and content as we used to do this on XML level before we moved to DITA. So I...
Hi All, I have a DITA/XMetaL question that is more DITA than XMetaL, and more of a polling than a question, or a little of both. Here is the situation: we...
Hi, Eddie! IMHO I think that what you need is a way to convince your editors/managers that a cross reference to a table that appears directly below the cross...
<framemaker-dita@yahoogroups.com>Hi DITAdepts in the unstructured world, it's quite common (and easy) to convert to paragraphs to a table: you create a...
Nancy, Thanks very much. Your response is exactly what I am looking for. I will be forwarding your response, along with a couple of others I received on...
Hiya - Insulating your content from external dependancies like cross-references that are hard-coded into topics is, to me, one of they keys to getting high...
Hi Eddie, My sympathy for working in an environment that sticks to old traditions that make it so difficult to migrate to new workflows and paradigms. In...
While this question is not DITA-oriented, others may have already faced a similar issue. What is the best way to call external Java methods (and get returns) ...
Hi folks, Does anyone need to create 508-compliant PDF's from their DITA output? I'm trying to figure out how to grab the value of an image's alt attribute and...
Hi all, I'm using the Dita2Confluence conversion tool, and have run into an interesting issue with PH conrefs. Is there any way in XMetal 5.1 to change the...
Hi Joanne, This one is not that difficult to change at least on my PC. Go to XMetaL program directory and search for *.ctm files that contain "xm-replace_text...
Thanks - it works for me just fine and makes all the difference in some of my output. This group is the best! ... From: ghkrause <gunnar.krause@...> ...
Leen, I don't know a way to do real time debugging of XSL launched by Ant. Â You could troubleshoot the task that fails outside of Ant and eliminate all the...
Hi Craig, Thanks. 1. The XMetal output log was not (yet) created. Because it the conversion stopped. 2. Yes. A nearby conversion with the same input went well....
Raising the flag... I have a default installation of XMetaL with Japanese content but I cannot generate a proper PDF output. The Japanese text do not appear in...
Hi Marco, I'm in the same boat; here's what I've been able to figure out so far: 1. Install Japanese fonts on your system. (ok, maybe that's obvious) 2....
We are using XMetal Author Edition version 5.1.1. with our own DITA set up. This topic is set as "task" and includes sets of unordered steps with substeps....
The <note> element wants to go inside a <stepresult>. In this case XMetaL is probably finding the nearest <step> that has a <stepresult>, and inserting the...
