Hi All, Does anyone know how to customize the default attributes for an element when the element is inserted from the attribute list AND the user has text...
Hi Dave, In general for XMetaL -- that is, for any doctype, not just DITA -- the CTM mini-template change will have the effect you describe: it applies only...
Hi Tom, Thanks for the information. That definitely helps. I am using XMetaL Author 5.0 Enterprise Edition, and I'm using Dita. Do you have any suggestions for...
Dave, The only options for doing this in DITA at present are: 1. Do scripting such as I mentioned, even though I said you "can't". We say "can't" because...

Hi All, As part of the Gilbane Group's continuous market research efforts, we are conducting a survey to learn which tools are being used most predominantly...
Hello, I'm using XMetaL to generate RenderX output in a variety of languages. Does anyone know how to get the dang thing to recognize the language of a ditamap...
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I'm far from fluent in XSL, so I put together a Java app that can transform most of the tracked changes into formatting....
I'm using XMetaL 5.1 / Enhanced PDF. I'd like to add alternate text to note images, based on the type of note, as part of 508 compliance. I know that...
Hi Trevor, just a guess: did you only set the attribute to es-es in the map? You need to set the attributes in the topics, too. If you only set it in the map,...
Hi folks, I finally created a map specialization, too. The main purpose is to use my extended metadata set. However, I cannot make XMetaL Author to allow...
Hi folks, Any idea how to make DITA map editor to honor that I disabled domain mapgroup with elements topichead and topicgroup ?? I appreciate your support. ...
Hello all, As many of you have requested - it's here! We have opened a brand new online community for the XMetaL product family. Please share your thoughts,...
Trevor, Setting the xml:lang attribute to es-ES on the map should work if you're using XMetaL 5.1 and the "XMetaL Enhanced PDF via RenderX XEP" output format....
Oops, correction: The folder is C:\Program Files\Common Files\XMetaL Shared\DITA_OT\demo\xmfo\cfg\common\vars . Su-Laine -- In xmetal-dita@yahoogroups.com,...
Hi All: (Background: The XMetal version is 5.1.1, and builds take place on a server with pre-configured build scripts. I do not do any build configuration.) I...
The problem is solved. The Glossary displays in the TOC as a regular item, so the ditamap and dita reference topic needed to have the properties set to...
Now my glossary ditamap is repeating the main topic -- over and over and over. The ditamap does not repeat the topics or the headings. +Glossary + term 1 +...
I think I found part of the reason, but am not sure *why* this happened. I inadvertently added topics that had the topic type set to "Concept" instead of...
I've had odd (and similar) results when I set up a ditamap structure and create the topics but don't edit the topics. Once I add content to each topic, the...
In XMetaL, when a space is entered prior to any information in an element using tags on view, the space does not appear in that view, but shows up in plain...
I don't think there is a built-in way to do this. You could write a macro to do it, which could either be run manually (on-demand by the user) or event-based...
Hi Tom, I second this request. Of course, it is possible to teach all following XSLTs and code to strip whitespace from title elements and others. But...
(cross posted) Now seeking speakers for two conferences coming in 2009. The RealWorld DITA 2009 Conference September 14-16, 2009 Raleigh, North Carolina USA ...
Thanks for the responses. To me, it would make the most sense to just make all spaces visible in the tags on view. No mucking about with XSLT, no need to make...
This thread helped solve a problem with conrefs being excluded from output for me, which is pleasing. However, it adds a less than intuitive step to the...
Hi, We need an easy way to insert Greek letters into our documents. The Special Characters toolbar seems like the right place to make them available, but in...
