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

Hi Ed, Can you give a list with all the custom plugins you installed in DITA OT 3.4.1? Also just to make sure, you did not copy the DITA OT 3.4.1 installation over the older 2.x installation, right? B

Hi Ed, DITA OT 3.5.2 comes with a very new Saxon XSLT processor in its "lib" folder "Saxon-HE-9.9.1-4.jar". You seem to be running the publishing with an older Saxon JAR library. How exactly do you st

Hi everyone, we’re trying to upgrade our dita-ot from 2.5.4 to the newest version. I copied our custom plugins to the new dita-ot directory and integrated them using the dita install-command. Now, eve

Hi Bella, Since you’re using DITAToo CCMS, you might check out the configuration database add on. This has been designed for managing complex conditions in DITA content. Contact your DITAToo vendor to

I haven’t done it yet, but have you looked into groups? http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata02/os/complete/part3-all-inclusive/archSpec/base/usage-of-conditional-processing-attributes.html

We have some complex conditionalization, too, and these are some techniques I’ve used. For ditavals: · “Exclude” all profiling attributes by default: <prop action="exclude"/> · “Include” all @otherpro

Hi, The conditional attributes are very complex for our documentation because our product is highly customer configurable. Our conditions have complex combinations of AND, OR, and NOT, for example, (A

Hi John You could control the output of ISO or ANSI icons via the map. I use this technique in my PDF plugin to control for instance the layout (A4/US). First you need to define a variable in roots-pr

Hi Radu, Defining keyscopes and keys for each topic did the trick. Thank you for the tip. Kind regards, Pieterjan

Hi Pieterjan, It probably depends on the order in which the DITA OT engine does the branch filtering and the conref resolution. From what I looked it seems to first do the filtering and then the conre

Hi, I am currently trying to figure out the branch filtering mechanism, but I am lost when it comes to branch filtering and reused content. Is it possible to do branch filtering on reused content? I w

If you can use DITAVAL for the hazard icon, why wouldn't that work for the safety alert symbol as well? As long as you don't have to mix ANSI and ISO in the same book, you could put the right image in

We write manuals using ANSI icons and ISO icons. In many cases, our warning messages are the same except for icons. Today, we use outputclass='iso' and modified DITA-OT to outputput the correct alert

As far as I know, to remove a column, you'd have to conditionalize the corresponding colspec and each entry element in the column. It's far easier to replicate the table with the relevant column remov
