Hi all, I'm currently in the middle of upgrading my DITA-OT installation from 1.5.2(yeah I know) to 3.5.2. The current version(1.5.2) uses custom Ant scripts and custom start scripts to perform its va

Hi, If you look in the console output the publishing seems to break because one of your XSLT stylesheets is not wellformed: Maybe you can fix that error first and then continue your customization. Reg

Hello, Leigh, Thank you so much for responding. Based on your advice, I redirected the path of the Build Files to the build.xml file in the dita-ot folder. (Image is attached for your kind reference)

Hi Radu, Thanks so much for pointing me to that page. I had been googling insanely for an answer. I will check if the idea of using a conkeyref is an option for us. Thanks again, Christina

Hello, I was wondering about the following: if it is possible to add several keyword elements to a keywords element within a keydef ditamap, why can't the keyref attribute of a keyword element in topi

Hi Ed, If you look inside a DITA OT bundled with Oxygen, it has in the "plugins" folder a plugin named "com.oxygenxml.dost.patches". That plugin depends very much on the DITA OT version, if installed

Hi Radu, I think I might have found the culprit: I tried to generate output using DITA-OT 3.5.2. Our customized plugins rely on Oxygen plugins, so I naturally copied Oxygen plugins from their installa

This Ant file is simply deleting your output directory and then calling the build.xml file in plugins/com.try.custpdf. Does build.xml include the code to build the PDF? -Reece
