SLM (Service)

Hi,we would like to get all '<simpara>'-Elements within an array (as each entry), if the user marks some <simpara>s.This is for example the marked selection:<simpara role="klein">This is a test text<emphasis role="underlined">with emphasis elements</emphasis> inside simpara</simpara><simpara>Lorem ipsum</simpara><simpara>Test test test <emphasis role="italic_on">asdfasdf</emphasis>lol omg</simpara><simpara>Test text with footnote inside<footnote><simpara>footnote text</simpara></footnote>lorem lorem</simpara><simpara>Pun<emphasis role="bold_on">asdfasdf</emphasis>kt 6</simpara>As you can see, in this example there are 5 <simpara>'s which we would like to get in an array like this:$arr[0] = <simpara role="klein">This is a test text<emphasis role="underlined">with emphasis elements</emphasis> inside simpara</simpara>$arr[1] = &l

Okay I am having a little issue with a small script I am trying to create.Here it is in a nutshell.  I need to flatten the current document, send it to a service and then open the original file again.  The first two are no problem. I am having a heck of a time opening the original book back up from PDMLink.Here is my code thus far: package processInteract function createInteract(){     local res1;     local doc;     local newname;     local doc1     doc = current_doc();     doc1 = doc_name(current_doc());     res1 = response("Have you saved? Running this command you will loose any non-saved changes!", "&Yes", "&No", "&Cancel");     if(res1 == "1" ){         doc_flatten;         newname = "c:\\temp\\" . time();         #message_box(newname,0

Our company is upgrading to Windows 10 for all platforms.  Does anyone know of any problems operating Arbortext Editor 6.1, M020 in that operating system?  If there are please let me and everyone else know what they are and any work-arounds that have been identified.

Composing with xsl-fo gives Assertion failed: size < TXF_MARK, file ..\src\stortxt.cpp, line 89 followed by FATAL ERROR: Operation terminate.Using Arbortext Editor 6.0 M070 on WIndows 7. I have a lot of inschlvl attributes. Composes when I remove them. Narrowed it to one file. That file composes by itself. Looks like this may be some sort of Arbortext limitation. Is there any variable I can set to up this limitation, if that is what it is.Has anyone anyone seen this?Thanks,LB

I have been able to follow the online help to make this feature work, but don't understand completely how to use it. It seems based on creating an xref in source, but doesn't this xref need to navigate to another spot in topic or another topic? Confused on this feature.

Technical Illustrations are the most direct and efficient way to deliver technical information, but they must be fit for purpose. How can you be certain that the illustrations you create conform to all of the required specifications (S1000D, ATA, MIL-SPEC…)? What are illustration business rules and how do you check that your visual technical data is ready for publication? Join Ian Proudfoot, Technical Director at Antea on Thursday, April 7th, from 10-11am EST for an interactive presentation that will discuss:Specifications and standards Illustration business rules Style and technique Checking for errors Publishing and file exchange Conclusion: The real value of enforcing business rules. Demo and Q&AI welcome your feedback on future topics you would like to see presented. Please email me directly so that I can hear your ideas!Thanks-Pushpinder

We are running Arbortext v6.1 M010. We currently don't have either the Publishing Engine or the full version of Styler. To make a manuscript print out (very lightly formatted; suitable for proofreading), we are currently using a third party, Unix-based typesetting system. We would like to move our printing to Windows since we are now using the Windows version of Arbortext. I was wondering is anyone printing or creating a PS or PDF file from Arbortext and not using the Publishing Engine? Is this even possible? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.Regards,Rick

Has anyone else encountered this error before?editor.exe: [A30535] capacity exceeded: Pagedef page table entriesWe've been working on a stylesheet for a while, and a recent version started getting this error and refused to open. However, when we went back to earlier versions of it (which previously had opened fine) they also get the same error and refuse to open. We've lost almost a month of work on this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.This is an APP stylesheet, and it is built on another stylesheet which has been getting updated over time as well. We are working in AE Styler 6.0. We've encountered this error before but previously were able to go in and delete some of the page defs and then it allowed us to open it, but when we delete the page defs, now it still won't allow us to open it.

We have Arbortext Publishing Engine, and are looking to retrieve a complete, flattened XML document for a given Object ID by way of a straight HTTP request (not SOAP).Where can we find sample code / documentation?  We'll be using PHP, but examples in any language would do -- or, if there was documentation about how to construct the URL, that would be great too.Much Appreciated!

Hi all,we are currently authoring in Arbortext 7.0 with Styler and we are using APP to publish our documents in PDF. Everything is working perfectly, except something which I would like to know if it can improved.The setup as it is, requires 3 passes to output PDF, meaning that it goes through all pages 3 times before the PDF is generated. This is ok for small documents, but usually we publish large documents of around 600-700 pages.Is there a way to improve that so that we speed up the publishing process?For example, is there a way to configure how many passes will be run before the PDF is generated?Thank you very much in advance for any hints/tips/assistance.Tasos

We are working with DITA xml. AE 6.1 M080. Whenever I try to insert content within a tag the tags attribute window opens automatically. Can this be disabled? I would like to have the attribute window open manually (CTRL+D). Could this have something to do with our style sheet? Anyone else experience this and if so, do you have a solution?

I've recently upgraded Arbortext Editor from 5.3 M100 to 6.0 M040. We author SGML documents. Couple of issues that I am encountering:Hitting the Enter button after a tag does not show the "Quick Tags." The preference "Show Quick Tags on Enter" in Tools > Preferences > Edit is checked. From Advanced, the "quicktags" preference is set to "On" Unable to use the mouse scroll button to scroll up and down the document."Newline" breaks are appearing everywhere in the document. In the 5.3 version these breaks were not present. Any way to remove these in 6.0? It causes problems with our publishing system. Also, 6.0 allows you to use the "Enter" button and add multiple spaces. Can this feature be disabled?Any help/advice will be greatly appreciate!Thanks

Arbortext Editor 6.1 adds unwanted newlines aka Carriage Returns througout the text. They are not visible within the editor but are visible in any text editor. This is an extremely annoying behaviour. Is there any way to turn this "feature" off. For anyone that runs scripts over the markup this is a pain because this breaks search patterns.Example: The newlines break at odd places, for example there's a cr after <xref:in accordance with sub-paragraph <xreflinkend="myid"></xref>.

To create our xml documents I’m using Arbortext Editor (http://www.ptc.com/service-lifecycle-management/arbortext/editor )What is the bug to solve ?When I create new entities, I have to declare it in the .acl file (edqm_ent_E_W7.acl).  We have to declare it in the .dtm file (dbgenentEN.dtm) too.Sometimes, colleagues forget to declare these new entities in the .dtm file (dbgenentEN.dtm).It generate the bug I need to solve, when we run the script in Arbortext Editor (this script runs in fact edqm_ent_E_W7.acl. It marks up our xml file).The bug is :I run the routine in Arbortext Editor.  Ifthe  acl file doesn’t find the entity in dtm file, Arbortext Editor deletes the text instead of keeping it (through ‘’break’’ command) or replace it by the specified text (in the example here : if ($Error>0) {ie PhEur}).With this command, if there is an error, it should mark up with ‘’ ie PhEur ‘’.Why our xml editor delete the text?To understand better what the bug is, watch the video

Hello all, We're getting ready to purchase our setup and I'm wondering whether we need only one or both of the products.  I understand that Styler locks your system up while it's working whereas PE does not (runs in background?).  Any insight?  Thanks!
