Attribute Content Right Align

Could anyone give pointers on how to Right Align attribute content?My client in legal publishing is using manual numbering because there is no logic to their numbering e.g. (ii) may be followed by (v)The number is captured with label attribute in xml as follows:<subPara hangIndent="yes" indent="lowerroman 4 character" label="(ii)"><body>in which the testator was, at the time of the execution of thewill or at the time of his death, domiciled or habitually resident;or</body></subPara>To output the number, Gentext for the subPara is captured as follows:<_gte:AttributeContent occur="1" scope="subPara" attr="label"/>The challenge is aligning the Gentext (AttributeContent) Right as illustrated below: (ii) (iii) (v)(iixi)Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

RTF Preview Error

Please assist - I have a client who runs Arbortext Editor and Styler 6.0 M070.They are currently experieince errors when previewing to RTF. The error message reads: [Unable to obtain a license for optional component Arbortext Import/Export]The client does not have Import/Export licenses and should not have. They also do not have Import/Export installed. Previewing to RTF is standard Styler functionality.The client is also running on MS 2010 and can open RTF documents that I send them.Anyone expericed a similar case? Please assist - I cannot understand why Styler is looking for the Import/Export license. We have tested on other machines that have Editor and Styler and the RTF preview works.

Suppressing warnings for keyref attributes on elements with content

Hello,I wonder if someone has found a way to suppress this new warning. We understand how the keyrefs function and that this is likely by design, but it should be obvious that if the element contains content, use the content, otherwise use the keyref content. At least that's how the OASIS standard reads.For example:Key reference "nobracket" on "uicontrol" element in "ks_operation_mode.dita" will not derive its content from the referenced key definition because the element is not empty.We may have hundreds of these, and it makes it very difficult to filter for the "real" warnings.I have perused the DCF files for keybase and ditabase, but no obvious solution was found. Thanks for your time.Bill

Does anyone have astylesheet trick for this?I can validate the XML before submitting it, but I'm hoping to be able todeliver a FIXMEDUDE type of warning to the output. So far I'm not able tofigure out how to do that.Thanks.-- Paul Nagai

When we place a topic with a foldout in the chapter coloum it publishes my folout with a blank page after the foldout page. If I move my topic one level it does not do it any more. Just wondering where I need to look to fix this issue. I look in styler and see there is a foldout element and in the fold out element there is a lastpage with a blank page following the element, So I take it this is why it prints correctly on the chapter level. One question is how do you know how many levels an element is styled for?ThanksBryon

Resource manger makes opening document slow AE 6.0

If your resource manager is open. when you go to open a new topic it is dreadfully slow. Is there a key that you can hold down on the keyboard when opening a topic that will suppress the resource manager from opening in the topic being opened.Bryon

Basic questions about FOSI, screen style sheets and ACL commands

Hello again 😃Some days ago Paul Nagai posted me some info about FOSI, I think that this tool would be very very useful in order to reach my goal, however I don't know anything about FOSI =( Please, if any of you could help me giving me more info related with FOSI and screes stylesheets it would be awesome!! =DI have been searching more info about FOSI, however is pretty confusing for me now, If any of you know more general and basic information I will really appreciate your help, for example, I would like to know how do I implement a FOSI screen style sheet? I have been trying with my init.acl file and the 'set stylesheet' command but I can not see any change or any difference in my documents, also I think this is because I don't know how FOSI works =( ...I mean, I don't know if when I open an existing document automatically mi stylesheet would be applied; what I'm trying to do is that when a user clicks a button, some text be highlighted in a specific color, I would like to implement

Styler stylesheet for a styler stylesheet

Does anyone have a styler stylesheet for rendering a more human/customer centric print specification using an existing styler file as the input document? A .style file is an xml document so it seems possible, but the references to stylesets could be tricky, but not impossible.

java.lang.NullPointer Exception error

Hi All,We generally get error java.lang.NullPointer Exception while opening dynamic documents in Arbortext Editor in a linked session with Windchill. Clearing the cache or workspace sometimes resolves the issue. However, i do not believe that it has something to do with cache or workspace as it happens quite often. What could be the reason and how to fix it?Thanks,Nihar

About the creation of a new document using ACL

Hello everyone!!Here I am with a new question hoping any of you can provide me more information, as always I am pretty grateful with your support, which has been so far very useful!! 😃If I'm creating a new document in any place inside my computer and then I'm trying to open it, can I use the open() ACL command? And once I open the document, how can I get the content? I create my document with the temp_name() ACL command. Also I would like to know how to put data/information inside my document, basically I would like to know how to create/open/save/modify a document using ACL commands. Also, I'm implementing a new tool for an Arbortext's user, so I'm trying to make it more user friendly, any of you know if there's a possibility to highlight in colors some of the content in a XML document open in Arbortext? Or maybe there's an option to implement icons, figures, select in colors, or something that allows me to highlight some text.Thank you very much in advance.Paulette Zorrilla

Support with an ACL buffer

Hello experts!!I'm trying to create and use a buffer in order to save data that later will be presented to the user in a textbox inside a customized window which was created by me, however i don't know a lot about buffers, I found the paste command but I understand is only to paste the content from my buffer to the place where the cursor is inside my document. I thought that a buffer would be a good idea since my content will be generated dynamically in a Java class which acts as an analyzer and using content extracted from Arbortext. So, I create the buffer in my init script and then I insert the info in my buffer, but when I need the buffer's content I don't know what to do? :'(Please, I really appreciate your time and support, and also all the information related with buffers that you can provide me, also if any of you knows another way to manage my issue, I really appreciate your opinion.Best Regards!Paulette Zorrilla

I am trying to convert my 4.3 .vr files into 5.3 XUI XML files. One of the .vr files was a toolbar with two text boxes anchored to the bottom of the Epic window. I am able to create an XUI XML file with two read only textboxes anchored to the bottom, but do not want the user to have the ability to close the dialog. Is there a way to disable the X (close) button on the top right of the dialog. If not, do I need to somehow make it into a toolbar. Thanks for any help.

Styler conditions: xpath vs attribute test on performance

We have multiple doctypes with different top level tags but every top level tag has identical attributes that control gentext for specific elements. For example:<handbook role="template">...<name>[...]</name>...</handbook><handbook role="document">...<name>...</name>...</handbook><brochure role="template">...<name>[...]</name>...</brochure><brochure role="document">...<name>...</name>...</brochure>Where the [ and ] in the template lines are gentext.I can implement the condition on the name element as two attribute tests of ancestor = handbook, attribute = role, comparison = template andancestor = brochure, attribute = role, comparison = template and connect those two attribute tests with an OR boolean, but I could also implement as a more concise singlexpath rule of /*[role="template"]. Also note that I have many more doctypes other than handbook and brochure, so the maintenance becomes diff

Another apostrophe problem

Using: Arbortext Editor 6.0, Windows 7There is a “known issue” with the Minion Pro font (and other Adobe fonts), in that the apostrophe, in certain combinations, falls too close to the following letter. These combinations include words like l’école, j’avais (we work in French and English), where the apostrophe is almost above the following letter, to the extent almost of nudging the accent, where there is one. Searching on the Web for kerning + apostrophe produces numerous hits and suggestions for solutions in different contexts.In InDesign, using “optical” kerning rather than “metrical” produces better (and acceptable) results. Arbortext seems only to offer the “metrical” option.Does anyone knowwhether it’s possible to customise individual kerning pairs in Arbortext?whether it’s possible to deactivate kerning on a smaller scale than “per-document” basis?Or has anyone already come across this and found a work-around?

Isodraw .emf size problem...

We upgraded three seats to v7.3 several months ago, to solve a .wmf size issue in Word (8 inches in Isodraw = 6 inches in Word.) Our three seats of v7.3 have been producing consistently correct .emf files on our two Windows 7 machiines and one XP64 machine until last week, when the XP64 installation whent back to generating incorrectly sized .emf files. I've tried them in various Office apps and even in Adobe Illustrator, but the only time the .emf files are displayed at the correct size is when imported back into Isodraw. I also have re-installed v7.3 on the XP64 machine with no luck. We plan to upgrade the XP machine to Windows 7 in about 2 months, but there's no guarantee that will work, and we need the capability now, rather than later....Has anyone else experienced simalar problems?I have attached an .emf and the original Isodraw file...

Getting composition log from PE

I am trying to get a composition log from PE using the E3Client java API.In a traditional conversion of client<->server communication, the log gets stored in an x2x directory, if I remember correctly, in the C:\Temp area (e3_temp_1234).Within the directory is a source and target folder. Within that target folder is a few files and a subdirectory containing composition related files, such as the DVI. I am trying to get the information contained within the composerlog.xml file. This file contains composition messages, such as how far a line overset occurs on a particular page. When using the API, you do not have access to this folder structure exactly, but I'm assuming there is a way to get the information.The E3ServerInterface has an enableLogging method on it. While handy, it appears to contain information higher level information but does not contain actual composition information.Here's a snippet of my convert code (xml->pdf).E3ConvertMethodInterface convert = e3.createConve
