Hi David, Your make-based approach sounds interesting! I have some questions: Did you dynamically generate the makefile from the DITA source before each build to handle changes in dependencies? Did yo

Hi Eliot, Your Git monorepos sound even more ornery than ours! I am also interested in submodules, but I think I would want to somehow fracture our existing repos in a way that preserves their history

Hi Eliot, Thanks for sharing this! For the tunnel variable, I like that you can enable debugging only for a certain template and below. I was trying to figure out why you needed to redefine the tunnel

Hi Nicholas, Your CI/CD pipeline sounds interesting! We divided our documentation into three monorepos (by business unit), but now even each of those is becoming awkwardly large. And writers want cros

Hi everyone, I recently watched John Kirkilis' DITA-OT Day 2022 presentation and it got me thinking about how to implement CI/CD in our DITA/Git environment. Traditionally when a Git commit is pushed,

Hi Frank, Yes, multiple Oxygen installations of different versions can coexist without interfering with each other. Simply deselect the box to uninstall the old version when installing the new version

Hi Frank, I suggest trying your experiment with the latest version of Oxygen, if only to determine whether these bugs have been fixed in the meantime. If installing the latest Oxygen version is too mu

Hi Chris, I have a DITA-OT plugin here that allows you to put the immediate child topics of the current topic into a list: chrispy-snps / DITA-mini-toc-element It does not include deeper descendant to

Hi Ann, Can you share the XML header of your file so we can see what type of schema it is using? Has there been an update to your DITA-OT version or CCMS version between then and now? - Chris
