Arbortext

Hello experts!! 😃I'm creating one document using the "temp_name" and "open" command in ACL, however when I call a java function through a java object which I created in the same function where my file was created, I can not read content from my document. I saw that only when I close my Arbortext is when the document shows it's content. If I open the new document while my function is "active" and Arbortext is Open, there's no content inside. =(Does anybody know why is that? And how can I solve this issue?As always I really appreciate your time and support. Best Regards.Paulette Zorrilla

My oid_fu is weak. I can make oid_name() return "_pi" but I can't read thebreakpenalty attr. Is it a pseudo attr? I only asked that to sound smartbecause I still wouldn't be able to read it if I knew. LOL!Ultimately, I want to highlight all <para> tags green in my screen FOSI ifthey are in a row with a forced pagebreak. I have code that will do this inred for row profiling by just checking on our profiling attrs on row. I'mtrying to write a system-func I'll call from para context entry that willreturn "yes" if the row's first child is the forced table break PI.Happy to pursue another path to indicate a forced break if someone hasfound another way ...-- Paul Nagai

Hi AdeptersIt's been a while since I posted a question or answer but I continue to find this group an invaluable asset.We are finally moving to Arbortext Editor 6.0, but need to leave a few users behind at 5.3 because of 3rd-party software compatibility issues.We'll need to use floating licenses for both versions and the question came up if there are any known problems running the Flex and Elan license servers on the same server.Anyone running both without problems? Any references to Tech Support pages on this questions?Thanks,--JackJack KulasWeb/XML App DeveloperTechnical DataLSI, Inc.6111 Technology CourtJacksonville, FL 32221Jax Office-MWF (904) 317-7339Home Office-TTH (352) 219-4338Fax (904) 777-9275jkulas@lsijax.com<">mailto:jkulas@lsijax.com>www.lsijax.com

I often copy some table from the "excel" of the office software to the Arbotext, but each content has the "p" sign (see the picture)how can i delete all the "P" sign at once? not hide themplease help me thanks very much!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know how to remove default cell padding in a gentable? If I insert a table in my SGML file and remove the top and bottom padding, I get this:<table><title></title><tgroup cols="2"><colspec colname="col1"><colspec colname="col2"><tbody><row><entry></entry><entry></entry></row><row><entry></entry><entry></entry></row></tbody></tgroup></table>but if I paste that into a usetext, I get unbalanced tag errors. I tried adding cbmarg="0.00pt" ctmarg="0.00pt" to the tgroup (and row, table, etc.) and that doesn't do anything. I wonder if this might be a DTD issue.

Hiya,I have copy, cut, and paste callbacks defined. I am successfully capturingall of the use-cases me and my testers have been able to think of exceptone.I can't capture the "paste" called when dragging, pressing Control, anddropping content. My copy callback fires. My paste callback does not.(There is some chance I am wrong about paste not firing ... maybe it'scopy. Using response() to debug program flow appears to affect buffers insome situations ... but I *think* it's the paste callback that isn'tbehaving.)Anyhow, has anyone worked through this sort of malarky before? Got any tips?-- Paul Nagai

I searched for anyone else discussing this topic but did not find anything.Most of us in our group of Arbortext Editor V5.4 M040 users are trying to use the colors to set different types content apart such as tag font color, generated text, text entity color (especially important to us), and object boundary color. However, the only colors that appear are black for regular text and the gen text color. Any clues what might be keeping the others for showing?Thanks,John

Hello there,I was wondering where I can get the "burst configuration file".I made a DITA data with Arbortext Editor and I chose DITA Technical Content as the category of the data.However, when I tried to save the data with ACM, the links in the data became invalid.I found out that I need the burst configuration file for DITA Technical Content to sort this problem out.It would be great if anyone could suggest me where to get it.Thank you very much in advance.

Having just installed Arbortext Aerospace and Defence 4.4 on a Windows 7 32bit machine, the Arbortext application asks for a license server.Is there an environment variable that we may set (via GPO in AD) to direct the workstations to the flexlm server?

Hi everyone,I know there is a way to change the number of columns on a specific element. Problem is, that there (imao) are not enough options to specify the way columns should layout.Now what I am trying to do is to change the number of columns in a 2-columned layout to 3 columns on e.g. element ul, where one of the original 2 columns should split into 2 columns, whereas the other shouldn´t change.So the ratio should be 25%, 25%, 50%.Anyone ever did something like that successfully?Hoping for some helpDaniel Thursfield

Has anyone ever came accross this issue with IsoDraw Export?Using IsoDraw I "placed" the tif, created leader lines/ callouts, and exported "as usual" to WebCGM 2.0...It seemed to export o.k. until I tried to insert into Arbortext Editor, and I noticed that only the leader lines/ callouts were showing. I opened the CGM file-same thing "only callouts/lines" ....So I checked the original "IsoDraw" file and it still included graphic...So the problem must be at Export-but everything looks o.k.....Did I accidently change an advanced setting somewhere, or has there maybe been an update that is causing a conflict between software applications at export Versions:Arbortext Editor 5.3Arbortext IsoDraw 7.1 ~~~~~Exporting to WebCGM2.0~~~~~~

Hello there,I uploaded the burst configuration files to ACM as adviced, then it started to load the burst setting.Since then, whenever I try to upload ditamaps and dita files which were made on the local, the upload fails and a warning comes up saying "the file name is too long".It seems that the file name is changed automatically to a name containing the pass, and that makes the file name too long.Could anyone give me any help with this?Kind regards,Tomomi
