457	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...	Marijana mprusina	Feb 4, 2009 9:49 am
458	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...	ghkrause	Feb 4, 2009 12:27 pm
459	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...	Anderson, Paul paul_cpwr	Feb 4, 2009 1:17 pm
460	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...	ericr_borland	Feb 4, 2009 3:40 pm
461	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...	Marijana mprusina	Feb 5, 2009 9:51 am
462	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...	richardocurtis	Feb 6, 2009 8:33 pm
463	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...	Tom Magliery mag3737	Feb 6, 2009 10:30 pm
464	Thanks, Tom. That's a great macro. Best, Andy Hall Algorithmics...	Andy Hall roxvillerooster	Feb 7, 2009 1:36 pm
465	Hi Tom, We evaluated Arbortext and XMetaL before we bought "your" editor. And the first thing on the list for our programmer was this feature and a...	ghkrause	Feb 7, 2009 7:44 pm
466	Thanks for the feedback, Gunnar. It is always welcome. You are correct about this feature being unchanged in 5.5. As handy as it is, there have always been...	Tom Magliery mag3737	Feb 9, 2009 12:06 am
467	Hi, I just stepped into adding my own plugins to the DITA OT. Mainly it's a modification of the XHTML output, e.g. that I removed the display of parent / child...	Marijana mprusina	Feb 9, 2009 9:54 am
468	... key="Ctrl+Shift+S" ... perfect, thanks! ... quick via ... in "change" ... thanks again... I had wanted this but hadn't noticed the "change" button. -r...	richardocurtis	Feb 9, 2009 1:44 pm
469	Gunnar, Would you be willing to share the paste as text only macro you mention below? I agree completely that this should be included as a feature in a future...	chad.dybdahl	Feb 9, 2009 2:51 pm
470	This one is slightly trickier because different people may have different ideas about what's "right". But here's one macro that does ... <MACRO...	Tom Magliery mag3737	Feb 9, 2009 9:15 pm
471	Thanks, Tom. This is precisely what I was looking for. I appreciate your speedy response. Chad ... does ... ...	chad.dybdahl	Feb 10, 2009 2:28 pm
472	Hi everyone, I'm looking for a class, preferably online or local to me (Seattle area), that teaches XSL with a DITA-centric approach. I have some very basic...	Phillips, Wanda wajasspike	Feb 10, 2009 9:24 pm
473	I'd like to be able to run the "open the referenced topic" action in a ditamap by doubleclicking in the topicref. The default seems to be that doubleclick in...	richardocurtis	Feb 11, 2009 2:02 pm
474	Double-clicking to open a referenced topic works only in the map editor, not in the "XML view of map" (Tags On view in the main window). There is the "open...	Tom Magliery mag3737	Feb 11, 2009 6:32 pm
475	Just my two cents. I like being able to double-click in the Map Editor to open a referenced file (a map or topic). To me, it gives navigating through a...	lizaugustine@... ebaugustine	Feb 11, 2009 6:42 pm
476	Thanks, Liz. I think the option is a great idea (big fan of user prefs myself). mag -- Tom Magliery XML Technology Specialist JustSystems Canada, Inc. ...	Tom Magliery mag3737	Feb 11, 2009 6:45 pm
477	I confirm this opinion, Liz -- it is convenient to double click a topic and open it from a map in the Map Editor. In fact, if XMetal allowed more operations on...	Julia Malkin julia_malkin	Feb 11, 2009 6:48 pm
478	How do I tell XMetal (5.5 Enterprise) not to add line breaks inside my titles? I didn't see a way to do that in the Options or DITA options menu, and the...	joanne grey clarifiedmind	Feb 19, 2009 9:44 pm
479	Hi JoAnne, I'm not sure what you mean by line breaks in titles. The only time I see broken titles is when the titles are too long to fit in the width of the...	Tom Magliery mag3737	Feb 19, 2009 9:49 pm
480	Success! For anyone interested, I sent a small file to Tom M. to look at, and he gave me an answer that worked perfectly. The whole story is that I'm using...	joanne grey clarifiedmind	Feb 19, 2009 10:36 pm
481	I am wondering if there is a way that I can specify a list of allowed values for attributes in the Attribute Inspector. For example, a number of these are...	chad.dybdahl	Apr 1, 2009 9:35 pm
482	Just change the dtd or mod file that is used by XMetaL and define the attribute values there. In Open Toolkit you may not want to limit the values in case you...	ghkrause	Apr 2, 2009 1:04 pm
483	Thanks for your response. To answer your question: yes, I'm certain I need to learn more about customization of DTDs and XMetaL. If you can point me in the...	chad.dybdahl	Apr 2, 2009 3:42 pm
484	Look for http://www.w3schools.com and specifically to http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/default.asp I am sure there are many good books and online offers to learn...	ghkrause	Apr 3, 2009 2:34 pm
485	Perfect -- that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much....	chad.dybdahl	Apr 3, 2009 6:15 pm
486	This is a minor but irritating issue. I am sure there is a simple solution, but a search through the archives here and on the wider internet hasn't come up...	churnworks	Apr 13, 2009 6:23 pm
