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...
Hi JoAnne, I haven't seen this particular issue before. However, if the problem started after reinstallation, a more thorough uninstallation and then...
Hi Chad, Conref would indeed be helpful here. This thread is worth reading: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/11156 If there are various...

Hi gang, [Excuse the cross-post, but I think this pertains to the xmetal-dia and the dita-users groups.] I have recently started a test drive of XMetaL...
I've been trying to specialize the "props" conditional attribute with DITA Open Toolkit 1.3.1 or later, following Eliot Kimber's great specialization tutorial...
Hi Paul, I am not 100% sure, but I think that it does. I have created three specializations of "base" and all of them appear in the XMetaL attribute inspector....
Yes, Seth, this was it!! Once I made your recommended adjustments to the OT profile, then removed and re-integrated the specialization is showing up just...
Hi Folks, I'm pulling my hair out over this one... I've created a relatively simple DITA structural specialization, which includes a (again simple) domain...
Hi Alan, Are you using the instructions from the XMetaL Help file about setting up a DITA specialization? There are some steps that you did not list below. If...
Hi again, I just had a chat with some of my colleagues. We've seen this error message before and it might have something to do with the way the DTD is set up....

Here's what we're doing for the products we are documenting with DITA: We're using XMetal 5.0 Enterprise Edition (even though we're no longer connected to our...
Wanda, I suggest to look at the presentation on Reuse Strategies, by France Baril, from CIDM 2008. It describes reuse options that are available and does a...
Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to customize the PDF in XMetaL. From first glance, it appears that you modify the DITA OT XSL-FO, however, the help...
