Composing SVG graphics through PE
Hello,
I am working on setting up XML docs to compose SVG graphics through PE (5.4 M100, on Win2008 x64)). Prior to this, we were using bi-level TIFF images.
I can get documents to publish with SVG images if it's just one or two per doc, but any more than that causes the "Java Heap Error".
Anyone have experience with this problem? I tried setting APTJVMARGS to bump the java memory space, but PE started throwing errors about one of the built-in Windchill adapters no being able to create the JVM, so I backed that off. Doing a set javavmargs or javamemory causes the same problem.
I had set graphicapptransform=svg:png; in the init directory, but that doesn't seem to help.
Short of upgrading to PE 6 to get an x64 build going (not a quick option for me), does anyone have any other recommendations?
How to create file entities?
I'm having trouble creating file entities on my abortext editor 6.0. When I want to create a new entity it says that I have an incorrect entity name. What does that mean? Which public id do I have to choose? Btw I'm using docbook.
How to combine files into one?
I want to combine my files into one so how do I do that? For example I'm making an epm and I've created seperated files for each sections of the epm so I want to combine them into one.
Need to fetch original href (not encoded one) via APP
//APP Code in Image Tag
var href=imageNode.getAttribute("href");
This gives me encoded value.For ex X-WC//=000000651.svg will give xwc_3D8234567821.svg ,some encoded value.
So need solution to get original href value which is present in image tag attribute in xml.
Inserting File Entities
I'm having trouble inserting file entities. I want to insert a whole document and I'm able to create that entity but when I want to insert it there happens to be an error saying, "[A11132] Insertion of entity &filename would make <book> in entity &filename out of context". What does that mean? How do I fix this problem?
Change element name
How do I change the name of an element? If I can't then how do I create a new element?
Should Isodraw have its own section?
We are Isodraw users and have no idea what Arbortext is or what it does. It is really difficult picking through posts in this forum trying to work out whether they are relevant to us or not. I think they should be split into 2 areas - can still be under the Arbortext banner, but keep Isodraw posts separate from Arbortext ones. In the past, Isodraw and Isodraw macros each had their own sections. What do other people think?
issue with customized new popup menu
HI Team,
I have created one new popup menu by referring Helping Center, I called this in one of the function where that I want to be invoked,I loaded one xml document in the Arbortext Editor to check, for example
<simple>
<para>hellow john ho are u</para>
</simple>
when I loaded and click on some "X" menu that checks and colors all misspell words in the document, when I right click on colored text(hellow) my new custom popup menu display with some suggestions this is working as expected,
And what the exact problem I am facing here is, the same custom popup is displaying when I click on non colored misspell words too(ho and u), And also custom popup menu is displaying where ever I clicked(mouse right click) on the document.
Please find the attachment of custom popup function, As per the reference Help center I used m3 instead of m2 , if i use m2 changes are not affecting.
Request to provide some help on this.
Thanks,
Prashant

Multiple stylesheets on one document
Is it possible to have multiple stylesheets for one document? If it is then how can I do that?
Use of ditaval files in Arbortext 6.0
We make extensive use of DITAVAL files in the documents for our product family. I am looking for a way for writers to be able to specify a value from a DITAVAL file on an element in a DITA topic.
If I look at the Profiling tab of the Modify Attributes dialog on an element, the otherprops field is a selection field; it is not editable. Therefore, we seem to have only 2 options:
- Edit the DITA topic in an ASCII editor to add otherprops="xxxx" to an element, such as a paragraph element. I really do not want writers to edit DITA topics in an ASCII editor; that leads to all kinds of issues. :-)
- Modify the ditabase.pcf to add the values specified in the DITAVAL file. This is an issue, especially if writers are working on multiple products. Each product has a completely separate set of DITAVAL values and they are not necessarily related.
If the otherprops field in the Profiling tab was editable, that would seem to solve the issue because we could add the value (and specify the DITAVAL file to be used when we processed our document.
I am relatively new to using PTC Arbortext, so I hope that I am missing a simple solution?
How to change the heigth of rows with FOSI codes
Hi,
I have tried to change the heigth of rows in a table with this FOSI code :
<e-i-c gi="row
<charlist inherit="1">
<usetext source='!<?PubTbl row rht="0.33in"?>!'></usetext>
</charlist>
</e-i-c>
But this code fails.
Can you help me?
David
Is there any option to define multiple element in one element context in FOSI stylesheet?
Hi,
I want to apply font color for more than 50 elements in one element context(dt--definition term). Below is the coding for making individual element font color.
<e-i-c gi="ph" occur="all">
<charlist inherit="1">
<indent inherit="0"/></charlist>
<att>
<specval attname="ishcondition" attloc="ph" attval="#ANY"/>
<specval attname="EDITOR-ONLY" attloc="system-var" attval="#ANY"/>
<charsubset>
<indent inherit="0"/>
<highlt fontclr="#663399"/></charsubset>
</att>
</e-i-c>
Similar way i want to apply all element inside <dt> element. instead of applying individual element is there any option for defining all in one <e-i-c>
Thanks

custom numbers in TOCs
Hey folks,
I'm trying to assign the number field to an attribute in Styler, but the number is not coming out on the page in the number field. It's coming out prior to the label and I'm still getting the page number from the PDF. I've attached a screen cap of the configuration in Styler.
Here is what I think I should be output.
Introduction.............................%@my_attr value%
Instead, I get this...
%@my_attr value%Introduction..............%pgnum%
Has anyone seen this before or is there a problem with my configuration?
Thanks,
-Jeff
Use XPATH string to get current page number and add blank page if it finishes in odd page
Dear community,
I'm a newbie in Arbortext Styler and Xpath.
What I want to do:
(1) after a tag, using the "Gentext" "Add after element Context" feature, test if it is an even page;
(2) if I get an even page, insert an ufe (user formatting element), with a blank page;
I was wondering if I can insert a XPathString in order to do this test.
Detailed instructions how to do that will be very welcome!
Thank you in advance,
