Question about frameworks and CSS
by Kristen James Eberlein 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

When I create a framework and associate custom CSS with specific DTDs, does that simply mean that the styles are available in the Styles view? Is there a way to set them as the default CSS that is used when oXygen renders the topic type? -- Best, Kris Kristen James Eberlein Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee Principal consultant, Eberlein Consulting www.eberleinconsulting.com +1 919 622-1501; kriseberlein (skype)

It wasn’t that hard but it did use DITA for Publishers elements to capture all the JATS stuff that reflects publishing details for which out-of-the-box DITA does not have direct support. Unfortunately because this was for a client of a former employer I don’t think I can share it but I can say that the transform is only about 300 lines, although I’m not sure how complete it is. It looks like it was just trying to handle single journal articles, rather than a more complete book. But I wouldn’t image something to handle complete JATS books would be that much harder. Looking at the code now it’s mostly about mapping the JATS metadata to DITA metadata and then just mapping the content elements and structures to maps and topics, which is a pretty direct mapping. Here's an example template: <xsl:template match="mixed-citation | person-group | string-name | surname | given-names | article-title | volume | year | issue | source | lpage | fpage | elocation-id | publisher-name | edition | etal | conf-name | conf-date | comment | month | publisher-loc | uri | xxxx "> <ph outputclass="{name(.)}"><xsl:apply-templates/></ph> </xsl:template> It’s definitely something that could be reimplemented pretty quickly.

WebHelp output from JATS/BITS source?
by Lizzi, Vincent 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

The oXygen WebHelp feature produces very good web presentations based on source documents in DITA or DocBook format. I have some documentation that was created in BITS format (which is based on JATS) which I would like transform into HTML using oXygen's WebHelp transformation. Also, since I am working with the JATS format quite often I would like to be able to write my documentation in JATS format and use oXygen's WebHelp rendering to produce an HTML version. So my question is, what would need to be done in order to produce WebHelp output from JATS or BITS? Can the WebHelp transformation be extended to use a different XML format as input, or would it be easier to transform JATS to DITA or DocBook and then run the WebHelp transformation? Or, is this so non-trivial that it should be a feature request for oXygen? Thanks, Vincent Vincent M.

CSS background color based on text matches
by Amanda Galtman 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

Hi, We've had a request from an author to make the formatting in the Author view indicate when the text of a certain element type does not match the text of something else found inside the same topic. I can do this via Oxygen CSS, but I am concerned that the processing slows down the opening of large documents. I'm not convinced that CSS is a good way to address the underlying requirement about helping authors detect when something does not have a textual match as expected (e.g., maybe Schematron or a build warning would be more appropriate). Before I give up, though, I wanted to see if anyone had specific ideas or techniques I might have overlooked. Here's an example of variations I tried that work too slowly in large documents, just to give you the flavor. /* true => 255*1 => white * false => 255*0 => yellow */ refentry[role="function"] literal { background-color: oxy_xpath( "concat('rgb(255,255,', 255 * number(. = ancestor::refentry//term or .='') , ')')", evaluate,dynamic-once); } Alternate: refentry[role="function"] literal { background-color: oxy_xpath( "if (exists(text()) and not(some $n in ancestor::refentry/refsect1[@role=('inputs','outputs')]//term satisfies string($n)=.)) then ('yellow') else ('')", evaluate,dynamic-once); } Thanks, Amanda
