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...

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...
(I'm posting this for my colleague Derek, as his postings yesterday apparently didn't get through. - Su-Laine) The XMetaL Author Enterprise "Reusable...
Are you referring to XMetaL Author Enterprise 5.5? This has been released. All current customers should have been notified. You can find out the details by...
Hi, I wanted to check if DITA OT (or XTS) can be used for XML-to-XML transformation? If not Out of the box - then either by overriding the stylesheets being...
Hi All: I have not been able to find an answer to this issue, and I think probably there is no solution currently, but I wanted to ask anyway. In the course of...
Diana, It seems that XMetaL is the authoring environment with features such as link dependency left to content management systems and other tools. Yes, it is...
There are some XML and DITA "aware" applications that do link checking: Madcap Flare and AuthorIT, plus they have the additional writing tools (like spell...
Thanks very much! I will take a look at the site, and will ask my dept. head if they are looking at this for a CM system. Â ________________________________ ...
I think you'll find that link checking is a basic feature of most, if not all, DITA-enabled CM systems. At least we found that to be the case during our recent...
The 1.1 version of DITA-FMx (for FrameMaker) will include the ability to generate a reference report (essentially doing link checking). This is done at the...
Hi everyone, We've just put up a tutorial about how to use a lightweight text search utility to do basic "where used" checking in DITA files. It's here: ...
Su-Laine - wow, sounds like a great help. I'll look into it next week. Thank you! And happy new year to you too! -- liz _____ From: xmetal-dita@yahoogroups.com...
Hi everyone, I'm looking for a simple way to sort out the files for translation. I think I can use an XML-to-XML transform to apply the appropriate attributes...
And now that I've caught up on 2 weeks + of emails, I see the answer appears in earlier threads on the DITA-users list. Now, I just have to figure out how to...
Thank you! I am sure this will be helpful. "Where used" is certainly a step in the right direction! Happy New Year! Diana Ost ________________________________ ...
Hi, I'm using Xmetal 5.5 and Vista. I know this is a basic question, but I can't seem to find an answer either by Google or theonline help. How do I set the...
