Fully qualified path has to be less than 256 characters in Windows, I believe. If there are any relative pathing in the script, it gets chewed up very fast....
Hi all, Has anyone ever encountered a limitation to the path length to a content reference file? We were unable to generate output when the content reference...
I can report that my upgrade went well. There will be a few little hoops to jump through to get everything working again, but in the end it's all working fine....
P.S. It's just been pointed out to me that "DITA" is in the name of this mailing list, so you don't have to tell us what DTD or XSD you're using ... Su-Laine ...
Hi Dave, Lots of people are using SVG and EPS in their XML files and producing nice output from it. I don't know of specific users of CGM files in XMetaL, but...
I asked for an Upgrade Guide, but was told there wasn't one. I also asked about installing side-by-side, and was told 6 wouldn't run with another version...
When it asked me to uninstall 5.5, I backed off!!! I ended up submitting a ticket asking for some doc and guidance. Has anyone seen an Upgrade Guide or...
Hi folks, I'd like to upgrade from XMetaL 5.1 to 6, but continue using the toolkit I have installed with 5.1. I tried installing 6, deleting the contents of...
I'm the graphics guy in our group, and I just hate the idea of jpegs in pdf files, but that's what we've been doing in our transition to XML (XMetaL) and using...
Using DITA-OT 1.4.2.1, we've found that it is necessary to set the xml:lang on the maps *and* topics that have been translated. Some web browsers are pretty...
I'm using XMetaL 5.1, DITA 1.1 and DITA OT 1.4 We've been building Japanese html output with relatively few problems, but I've encountered a new one that has...
Use keep-together.within-column setting on the table row instead of on the table group. That should prevent table cells from breaking, but allow tables to...
We have seen some funky table processing in PDFs also. One bad hackish workaround I've discovered (bad because I always do it after looking at the output) is...
Hi everyone! I'm struggling with the way tables are handled, and I am now trying to prevent cells from being split over two pages. In other words, I'd like the...
Thanks Tom and Severin. Patrick Quinlan Sr. Courseware Developer w: 954.267.3136 c:954.253.1446 www.citrixeducation.com From: xmetal-dita@yahoogroups.com...
In XMetaL 5.x: Insert > Subtopic > [topictype] Nested topics must be of the same type as their parents (sez DITA); in XMetaL the above operation will silently...
Yes there is. You can nest a topic inside of another topic by including the child topic after the body tag of the parent, but before the parent's closing tag....
Is there a way to literally nest one topic within another? Wow, that sounds like such a newbie question :-), but I really don't know! Patrick Quinlan Sr....
I assumed that Nested was a topic literally nested in the same file as Topic1, and not a separate topic file nested in your map. My bad. Since the language...
I guess I expected that if two topics were chunked together, the nested topic would not be output separately. I'd like to store content as separate topics, but...
Hi Patrick, I'm no expert on chunking, but what you describe sounds correct. Since you have a topicref in your map that points to Nested, I would expect that...
Using XMetaL 5.1. I'm trying out chunking, which I've never used before, but I hear it might be good to use instead of sections ;-). I have a map like this: ...
I can confirm this too. Thus our guideline has been to first create AND save the topic, and then add a conref to it. This creates relative paths, as needed for...
In my experience, XMetaL inserts a fully qualified path when references are added to a topic before the topic has been saved to the hard drive. Once the topic...
I use Xmetal to work on content in a number of folders, and I've noticed that sometimes, when I "Insert element with content reference", Xmetal creates the...
