Arbortext

The application opens fine, but when I select File > Print... or click theprint icon on the toolbar ribbon, the following error displays:[A18115] Error in initialization file:C:\Arbortext\custom\editinit\alias_fileprint.acl,[A11378] Can't redefine alias "FilePrint" since it is currently executing.And, actually, it WORKS ok if you don't mind clicking OK on the errordialog.What am I forgetting?I've also attempted to menu_change File.Print, menu_delete File.Print andmenu_add File.Print but I can't do those without errors when theapplication loads. (It then works, but I think it throws another error thefirst time I use it. Then it's fine after that.)I don't think it is a menu label issue like the $DeleteMarkupLabel issue wediscussed a while back. But maybe I'm not looking in the right place ...Thanks.Oh, and Happy New Year everyone! It's going to be a good one, I just knowit!-- Paul Nagai

Hi All,Is there any way to create a multiple information structure for a single product context?Thanks,Harshal

Arbortext Editor 5.3Logged into the AAD S1000D CSDBProblem:I noticed that when I cut and "Paste Excel" my table appears in my S1000D document but the cells are empty. The reason for this is that not all of the markup is supplied during the "Paste Excel" function. Since the content is not valid it does not appear. The content of each cell is not wrapped with <para> tags.Workaround:1. Turn off Context Rules, Menu: Tools/Context Rules to uncheck Context Checking temporarily, you will receive a warning.Now because Context Rules are off you can paste anything you want into the document at any positon. Choose a valid location you know that will accept your table markup when you validate later.2. Menu: Edit\Paste Excel, check or uncheck the boxes you need, and select how many rows are title rows, click OK.The content of the entire table will be pasted into the S1000D document. You should see all of the content for each of the cells. Because Context Rules are turned off the document is i

To those of you folks who use Army TMSS documents and are wondering what hashappened to the ASRL, well I am hearing rumors that it MAY be back upsometime this month or early February. Now if APD will just realize it needs to get involved with supporting whatis posted there things will be nice. I would also recommend caution in using any DTD supporting theMIL-STD-40051-1B/-2B revision. There are a lot of issues in that DTD. I amaware of at least 20 changes made in the revision requiring a DTD changethat were not made. Lynn

The preferences have been set so that "auto save" runs every 10 minutes. Can anyone tell me where these files are being saved? Which folder? I'm trying to retrieve the files after Arbortext crashed.I thought that these files would be saved in the folder called users\... \AppData\local\PTC\Arbortext\Editor\.aptcache.Thanks

When publishing we are having the issue with some of our output that the heading and a line or two of the short description are on the bottom of the page instead of being pushed to the top of the next page with its content. I expect the change I need to make is in styler, Which element or elements would I need to change. I think the issue is mostly with the formating of topics. To I need to adjust the keeps for the topic element, or title in topic element?ThanksBryon

How should one switch to a different DTD?I'm using 5.4 m170 with SGML locally. I was given a new DTD with a different name. I compiled the new DTD and it failed with a syntax error, so I recompiled the old DTD successfully, saved the SGML file but it's still using the new DTD. Recompiled again, saved, shut down Arbortext, opened it again and SGML is still using the new DTD. The catalog is pointing to the old DTD.The new DTD was uploaded to the PE Server without changing the catalog path. I asked someone in production to recompile the new DTD sincer her SGML file couldn't f ind the old DTD, and the compile succeeded. But every time she opens the SGML file it says it can't find the DTD, and then it can't find the stylesheet, either. I assumed it was because the catalog path had to be renamed to the new DTD but I thought saving the SGML file after recompiling the new DTD would have overridden that. Anyway, they renamed the new DTD on the server to match the old DTD.I still would like to k

We are migrating from Arbortext 5.3 for Unix to Arbortext 6.0 for Windows. All of our content will stay on our Unix file system. We have many customizations which call perl and shell scripts on the Unix system. From the Arbortext 6.0 installation, I have figured out how to run these scripts using PuTTY to generate a tunnel to the Unix server. How do I grab the output of one of these scripts to insert that data back into the XML file I am working on? For example, one of the scripts in question, uses the name of the journal and the manuscript id number to query our database for the DOI of the manuscript in question. In Arbortext for Unix we would assign a local variable as follows:local return_value = `${codepath}/jpubs_get_doi_from_msid.pl ${journal} ${msid}`The return_value is the result of running the perl script which in this case would be the DOI from the database.In Arbortext for Windows, I have to do this as a system call:local return_value = system("plink -ssh -i \"C:\Program Fil

Hello every one,Until today I did not have to use footnotes in my documentation and I have an issue. I used the <fn> tag to create my footnote and inserted the content as below with an ID. But in my PDF I do not have a footnote at the bottom of the page, I only get the small 1 beside the text. Does anybody have a clue about what I did wrong? I am trying to find the way to insert the footnote automatically in the footer, but I can not find it.Thanks,

Is it possible to ask Editor to move the cursor to a specific line numberof the underlying file?-- Paul Nagai

I have a document that is opened as read only. I want to change a character entity to display something differently than what is declared. I set rochange=true to be able to change the document, and then try the modify_text_entity command but it comes back with an error sayinig that the document is read only even though I am able to edit the document. This used to work in 4.3, but seems to be broken in 5.3. Anyone have any suggestions on getting around this limitation. Thanks.

Hi all,We have set an application to edit and publish online educational contents. The editors create the content in XML with Arbortext 6.0 and then through some XSL and XSL-FO it gets online.It happens that some of the online students use tablets to read the contents, so we have to be very careful as to which characters are used in the documents, since some tablets don't have the fonts to display them. Notwithstandig, some fonts are needed even though they are not presents in all tablets, so we have created some webfonts for, let's say, some mathematical characters like the R for real numbers, or the square root. The editors write the UTF-8 character in the XML document, and then, through the XSL we apply to them a webfont.The problem is that we cannot create the total arrary of UTF-8 in webfonts. We use just around 40. So whenever an editor uses a new character not part of the 40, it doesn't display in some tablets.So far if we set the XML to ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8, it has no im

Hello,In version 5.3, I could set the stylesheet via the "set stylesheet="C:\fosi1.fos" command and then run "preview allpasses force" to print preview which provided me with a print preview using the chosen stylesheet with no interruption. This worked fine.In 6.0, (M060), however, running the same commands, it now interrupts requesting I manually select the stylesheet via the Preview dialogue after running "preview". (even though I had set it)Has this been resolved in a later patch ?ThanksAndy
