Question

Arbortext 6 - Compile Document Type

  • January 9, 2012

In the process of upgrading to Arbortext 6, I overlooked the fact that I
need to recompile my old DTDs to support our prior editions. However,
when I went to the Tools menu, "Compile Document Type" is not present.

Does anyone know how to get this back, or what the preferred approach is
for 6.0?

Thanks,
keith

    Aah, it seems removing the old .pro, .ptd and .dec took care of it. Not
    that I'm complaining, one less step for deployment, but I guess I got used
    to having to pre-compile first.

    You still have to compile SGML doctypes in 6.0. In any case, you can just type "compile_doctype [path to DTD]" on the Arbortext command line and it still works the same in this mode in 6.0.

    Somewhat of a late reply, since I was able to get around this in the past.

    When I try the compile_doctype command in 6.0, I get the error:

    The "compile_doctype" comman is not supported in this installation.

    Has anyone else run across this?

    Hmm, it seems that touching a blank template.xml file in the same dir fixes
    the problem. I have a case opened with PTC get their take, and will
    report my findings.
