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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Hello everyone, I have started to use XMetaL a little while ago at work and I am still stuck with to major issues before we can switch to the XMetaL/DITA...
Fabien, Look into the "conref" feature of DITA, and start talking to your programmers about the format of that resource.xml file. What you want is easy if you...
(This is what I get for writing messages too early in the morning.) The conref attribute actually includes the pathname of the resource.xml file (which must...
Thank you very much, Tom! I'll now have to see how well that converting-to-DITA goes down with the programmers and if it is at all possible, but I'll try to...
Hi everyone! I have tried at some point to ask this question on the DITA yahoogroup, but I never got any answer, so I don't know if this is even possible or...
Seems there's a bug in Eclipse that causes the XML declaration <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> to display in the Search results pane of an Eclipse...
I'm glad to see your asking this. I've asked some similar questions, but haven't really learned much. It seems like the answers are always in stylesheets...
I second this opinion -- thank you for asking this question. The issue with table breaks in PDFs is one of the most frequently received comment from our...
The details: I'm using XMetal Author 5.5 on a Vista platform. The problem: My JavaHelp output doesn't include the search file. I'm assuming that I need to add...
Thanks, Paul. Unfortunately, I've tried that and the JavaHelp search isn't being generated when I use XMetal. Everything else (including the CSS I've...
I also second this. Opening topics from the map is the only way to spell check a list of documents effectively. I’ve found a way to spell check multiple...
I have a DITA project and have identified a need to maintain multiple sets of variables (feature names, field names, etc.) for a variety of branded output. My...
Why not using DITA compliant conref mechanism? Create a reference topic with your values in elements of type keyword or ph and set attribute id with variable...
Hopefully someone has run into this and can tell me what's wrong. I had to uninstall and then reinstall XMetal Author 5.5.0219 Everything is fine, except that...
Hi, My previous post got no responses to fixing an Eclipse help output problem. As it turns out, the fix/workaround is to have another Eclipse extension added...
Hello XMetaL-Dita-- I have recently updated to XMetaL 5.5. I'm trying to generate a .pdf from a ditamap using Book via RenderX. The generation immediately...
Thanks for the response, and for helping me think this through. Conrefs seem like they might work, but I'm not sure I understand the mechanism whereby the...
Mark, Does the error occur just with this one ditamap, or with any ditamap you try to use? (For example, what happens with Help > Samples > DITA Sample Files,...
Hello Tom-- Yes, I get the same error with our other ditamap files. I also tried the Help > Samples > DITA > Sample Files test you suggested below, and I...
