Help to display the total number of pages with a FOSI

[unknown1]

Hello,

Which is the process to display the total number of pages (example: Page
1/5)?

Regards

OOOOOHHHHH and easy one. Well sort of easy. 😄

David, take a look at help 13014. I think this will get you what you
want. You will now get to learn about a TDV and a TIV (time dependent
variable and a time independent variable). Make sure you set your
<strngdecl> to a status of "1" or you will have problems.

Basically, it is add a new counter and a TIV string variable. Increment
the counter as you would any other counter. For a total page counter,
each time you count a page in the <pageset>, you will need to count the
total page counter too. Save the new counter value to the TIV variable
and then use the string in your <usetext>.

If you need further help, don't hesitate to ask. This was a cheating
man's way to answer, but the help file is pretty explicit.

Hi,

I'm using DITA in Arbortext Editor 5.2 and need to rotate an entry in a table. What i found is that the "rotate" attribut is removed in this version. Any idea?

You don't have to implement this w/two e-i-c's (I'm not even sure I
know why we did), but the following e-i-c's will rotate table cell
content:

<e-i-c gi="rotate">
<charlist inherit="1" charsubsetref="suppress">
<usetext source="%\hbox{\special{pub:" rotate<br="/>90}%,<rotated_cell.fmt>,#CONTENT,</rotated_cell.fmt>,%}%">
<subchars></subchars>
</usetext>
</charlist>
</e-i-c>
<e-i-c gi="rotated_cell.fmt">
<charlist inherit="1">

</charlist>
</e-i-c>

We don't use DITA so I don't know if there are differences that would
break this solution, but we're using the CALS table model.

You will have to set row height manually with the Arbortext PI since
the height calculation is performed on unrotated text. You will have
to valign the cell contents to bottom. You may have to tweak the
offset based on your font.
