Re: Rendering PSD Images in webhelp
Image processing is a pain in a DITA environment. The DocBook-based Paligo system cam handle Adobe formats natively and IIRC convert them on-the-fly. In a DITA environment you have to IMHO convert AI->SVG and PSD->PNG manually. And you have to fiddle out the correct export settings in Illustrator. O...

Re: Fluenta - management of translation memories
Hello Petr, we are using Fluenta and Oxygen, but not the Fluenta add-on. To support the development of Fluenta, you should buy a license ($200 per year) here . So far, we are not using the translation memory functionality of Fluenta at all, mainly because we have an agreement with our LSP, that 100%...

Re: Output filename based on variables
The way I solved this in the past is like so: You add an Ant target after processing. There is the preprocessing.post extension point in the OT. After preprocessing, the keyrefs are resolved. In this target, read the temporary map and cherry pick what you want. Then save this in properties, maybe in...

Hello Hugh, Thank you so much, that you invest life time and love into this project. It is really outstanding, if someone dedicates so much energy into something that he or she believes should be done.

Re: SVG images with variable/dynamic text
I would give the SVG domain a try and inject the text with <keyword> elements. I have never tried that and would be thankful if you would post your experience here.

Re: Output PDF file name based on variables
I'd recommend to read the metadata from your map after preprocessing (after keyrefs are resolved) and then do the renaming in a new Ant target at the end of the processing.

Re: Deleted Content / Search Results
I had this issue before. You maybe want to delete all the content of the output folder before you publish the webhelp again. Otherwise deleted DITA files remain in the output folder as HTML and are picked up by the search engine. Further on, your DITA Map needs to be stored in a superior directory. ...

Re: Creating a Definition List/Glossary in PDF
A terminology is not something like a chapter which is meant to be used in a document. It is a reflection of the concepts and terms you use in your organization, including unwanted synonyms and covering multiple languages.

Unfortunately I don't have code to change the appearance of the glossary. Why do you use the old XHTML? Why not the Oxygen Webhelp or at least HTML5? If you are more interested building a terminology instead of a glossary, try my terminology plug-in. You'll find the link on my website.

Re: Logo disappears in HTML output upon window resizing
Hello Tanja,
Please have a look at the original CSS file of your publishing template. You are very close to the solution.
There should be a wrapping CSS media query, which triggers the appearance of the logo. See https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp

I'd like to validate an XML file with NVDL via Apache Ant, like I can do it with https://relaxng.org/jclark/jing-ant.html and Relax NG. But I could not find a solution. Do you have an idea how to do that?

Re: Fetch JSON from an API
Hi,
I'm not familiar with this extension. What we do is to download the JSON with curl from Apache Ant first. Then we convert the JSON to XML and then we operate normally on the XML. This is surely the slowest solution, but very easy to maintain.
Best regards
