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...
Hi Joanne, If I understand what you mean by "title bar", I believe the title bar of the PDF will always show the file name of the PDF file. The default file...
Hi, Last week I posted a problem on the main DITA board. From now on, I'll keep my xmetal questions here. Anyway, the problem was that I received strange...
Hi All, This one *should* be simple. How can I change the sans font from Helvetica to any other sans font (let's say Tahoma)? I've tried various changes to...
xmetal support helped me out. It seems somehow "Book via RenderX" was being used and not "XMetaL Enhanced PDF via RenderX XEP". Strange, since I've never used...
Hi folks, We are in the midst of our first Japanese translation of DITA content. So far we’ve had pretty good success, but I’m having some trouble with...
Maybe I can help a bit: If you own Adobe Acrobat you can define the behaviour when opening a PDF. This called 'Document Properties'. In Acrobat I click Ctrl-D...
Thanks, Gunnar (and Su-Laine). Because the entire production flow is automated as part of our build, I can't separately set the properties in Acrobat. I was...
Does anyone know what this is used for? It is embedded in the XML as part of an xref. I am guessing it is what is used to use alternate text for xrefs if that...
The "xm-replace_text" PI is used by XMetaL to display "replaceable text" prompts in document templates -- the usually-blue-styled bits where you can click and...
I've had lots of fun with fonts... Here's what I did to change the fonts in our XMetaL Enhanced PDF output: Font Mappings Part 1 Install the appropriate fonts...
I’m building a Japanese bookmap that includes a glossary, and ran into an issue where the Glossary title did not appear, or appeared as question marks. I had...
Patrick, this is an excellent summary. Thanks. I guess I was on the right track, because I had performed the steps outlined. Nonetheless, my cover, TOC (and...
I'm no xsl or fo expert, so take this with a grain of salt. Have you checked \XMetaL Shared\DITA_OT\demo\xmfo\Customization\fo\attrs\xm_baseline_attrs.xsl and ...
You might have code like the following in your attribute files (for example, commons.xsl): <xsl:attribute name="font-family">Sans</xsl:attribute> Â When...
The "i18n trick" worked. Once I get more time I'll sort out the root of the problem. But for now... HURRA!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! MZ ... you...
Hi there, I'm working with XMetal DITA Edition 5.0. And all of the sudden Xmetal is setting absolute paths whenever I insert a topicref or a xref. This is...
Hi Marijana, Probably you have no clue why XMetaL changed its behaviour? Maybe you store topics now in other folders than before, you use drag and drop instead...
Is the file saved yet? XMetaL uses absolute paths in new files that haven't been saved yet. After you save the file, XMetaL should use relative paths. Hope...
Is this happening in newly created topics or topics that already exist? If you don't save a file before you start inserting references there is no notion of...
Hi, actually I didn't change anything, neither my workspace nor my work procedures. My colleagues do not have this problem. This is what make sit such a...
I've recently started doing DITA in XMetal after years of doing it in Epic, and one thing I miss a lot is Epic's "select the content of the element the cursor...
You are not alone. Well, as an XMetaL junkie I haven't loved it "as an Epic feature", but I *have* wished that XMetaL had it. ;-) Fortunately this is a...
