Can I output generated content between rows in a table (Styler v6.0)?

September 22, 2016, 10:49 am

Is it possible to output generated content between table rows or, more accurately, as gentext before a row that looks like it occurs between the rows.

 

I have a non-entry element that can occur before the first <entry> in <row>. The element has an attribute that, if present, needs to be output to look like a row (that spans the width of the table) that proceeds the current row. When I run some simple, mark-up only tests, I discover that content that is entered into the XML source between the rows is displayed, but content that is entered into a row, but outside of an entry, does not display. Using Styler, I've tried to output the content in the gentext on the <row> element, but have had no success whatsoever. I've tried looking at the FOSI source code, but I don't see a way of forcing this to appear in this context.

 

I'm using Styler v6.0 M080, and the stylesheet is FOSI-based. I have no authority to change the DTD, so I have to live the mark-up I'm given.

 

Here's some sample mark-up to show you the source. Confidential content has been changed.

 

<table>    <tgroup align="left" char="" charoff="50" cols="3">        <colspec colname="col1" colwidth="11*"/>        <colspec colname="col2" colwidth="51*"/>        <colspec colname="col3" colwidth="17*"/>        <spanspec align="center" nameend="col3" namest="col1" spanname="whole"/>        <thead valign="bottom">            <row>                <entry colname="col1" morerows="0" rotate="0" valign="top">                    <para>ITEM #</para>                </entry>                <entry colname="col2" morerows="0" rotate="0" valign="top">                    <para>DESCRIPTION</para>                </entry>                <entry colname="col3" morerows="0" rotate="0" valign="top">                    <para>PART NUMBER</para>                </entry>            </row>        </thead>        <tbody valign="top">            <row>                <entry colname="col1" morerows="0" rotate="0" valign="top">                    <para>Item 1</para>                </entry>                <entry colname="col2" morerows="0" rotate="0" valign="top">                    <para>Description 1</para>                </entry>                <entry colname="col3" morerows="0" rotate="0" valign="top">                    <para>Part Number 1</para>                </entry>            </row>            <row>                <special specialatt="Content to display in own row"></special>                <entry colname="col1" morerows="0" rotate="0" valign="top">                    <para>Item 2</para>                </entry>                <entry colname="col2" morerows="0" rotate="0" valign="top">                    <para>Description 2</para>                </entry>                <entry colname="col3" morerows="0" rotate="0" valign="top">                    <para>Part Number 3</para>                </entry>            </row>        </tbody>    </tgroup></table>

 

The element that I need to display as its own spanned row is on line 33 above. It has to be in the row because it is only applicable to that row. If the row is deleted or moved, the content needs to stay with it.

 

Here's how it needs to appear in the PDF output:

Am I asking to do the impossible without resorting to changing the XML mark-up?

 

Thanks for any help or insight you may have.

General ePub format question for PTC staffers (or others in the know)

Hi Folks,

 

Currently Arbortext support ePub2 as a format.

 

Epub3 has been around for a while - and so far I haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe that Arbortext will support anything newer in the near future.

 

So the question is, will Arbortext support ePub3 - or is ePub as an output format just being sustained at its current level with no plans for further development?

 

Thanks,

Rob.

I haven't been able to find information anywhere about the release schedule for Arbortext Editor. We're a partner of PTC since we integrate with Arbortext Editor but I don't have any direct contacts at PTC who can help. We've never been in any beta program but we would like to access to early beta builds.

 

Does anyone know when Arbortext 8.0 is scheduled for release and how I can can register for the beta program?

Dear Users.

 

I have a structure like below,

 

<definitionblock placement="local">

<term>Demo Term</term>

<definition>

<para>Device to test .</para>

</definition></definitionblock>


I have styled definitionblock/term as BOLD . It appears fine when visualised in PDF . But when I create a gen-text for definitionblock and use 'Current Element' , it does not show up my styling (i.e bold made for TERM element.) .


Can you pls suggest what needs to be done so that the styling is retained .


Regards.

Is it possible for isodraw files to be managed by Windchill

We have finally figured out how to connect Arbortext and Windchill together, able to checkout ditamap and dita files, modify them and check back into Windchill.

 

Is there anyway to connect Isodraw and Windchill together to modify isodraw files, the same way Arbortext and Windchill work together.

 

I know within Arbortext, importing the Arbortext files for the first time, you can "save as server object" on the ditamap and dita files, it will upload the linked .iso files. 

 

But again, if you want to modify the .iso files, how to checkout the .iso files, modify them and check back in to Windchill, just like arbortext files?

Publishing with APP renders system useless until complete

We are in the process of switching our style sheet from fosi to APP. Currently, we use Arbortext Print Composer on each desktop for publishing. In testing the published output, we are finding that while it is publishing you cannot do anything as the system always brings the editor screen to the front. Is there a way around this??

 

Thanks

Change cell border color using edit source APP

September 28, 2016, 12:09 am

Hello everyone,

 

I am currently working on a process which publish an xml to PDF. I use APP. I would like to have a table which borders are gray and header row is with gray background. Like in this figure:

output.jpg

The the header shading, I follow the instruction from topic: "How to colour table header in PDF". It works well. Thanks for Joachim Groos!

 

However, when I do the same for table cell border, it goes into problem. Here are what I do:

1. I create a Property set "table-cell-frame" which create a rule, and then I add that rule into current table cell. Like this:

styler1.jpg

2. I added that property to context "entry anywhere in thead"

 

The output, in fact, is working as desired. However, there are errors in event log. The errors are:

"Pg 4 JavaScript: Error: Error: fRules.addRule: Invalid object addRule([object fRule])@:0 onEnter([object Object],[object Object])@stylesheet0:PropertySet:table-cell-frame:onEnter:24

onEnter([object fStreamPos])@stylesheet0:Element:entry:theadentry7936:onEnter:23 runMacro("sprint \"_app:spFormatWithIndex\"",true)@:0 @_app:FormatWithIndex:3

. [1500]  (2:"stylesheet0:Element:entry:theadentry7936:onEnter"#93) (1:"editorDom0"#{0;/RDStyle/ResolvedMap/techinfomap/division[1]/concept/conbody/table/tgroup/thead/row/entry[1]/p}) "

 

I guess those javascript errors are because addRule() is called from a wrong context. But why the results show the correct layout?

 

I have checked in the help for anywhere using addRule(), unfortunately, there is no example for calling that function from a cell. Changing the border manually using "Modify Borders" dialog is not an option.

 

Does anyone has experience with this? Thanks in advance for  any idea how this behave like this and what can I do to resolve!

 

With best regards,

Thao Nguyen

I've noticed that Creo Illustrate does not consistently group parts in the Item List. Is anyone else having this happen? We are on Creo 3.1 M010 build 27.

I am adding annotation callouts manually. In one list, Items 1, 2, 5, and 16 are grouped as they should. But when I get down to 30, it should be 19. The Item Tag is the same for both.

Bursting Configuration

Hello All, new to the board, so any advice would be appreciated.


I'm trying to recreate our parent company's approach to our PTC solution, however our communication with them is limited.


In doing so, I can begin to revise their approach and procedures for our needs and build our Windchill ditabase. We receive their XML files for our manuals, and I obtained a copy of their custom folders with their stylesheets. I also received their bursting rules. When I try to burst a book from the map level, it comes back with an error saying, "Cannot modify the following attributes: lang, because they are not defined. I'm still a novice, although I have gone through all the AE and WC PTC courses I can go through, but I'm not sure where to fix this issue. The attributes are defined in the bursting rules, I see language under the attribute root in the Type and Attribute Mgr in WC, and it is a valid element attribute in the dcf. Where shouldI look, or should I post this in a better suited forum?


Thanks


Another question. If you're realtively new to the PTC family, and you have gone through AE, WC and Styler courses from PTC and read through a lot of their manuals, where would you look next for additional training and understanding? A lot of these courses teach basic application, but not understanding of what to do.


Thanks again!

Pressing Enter displays the tags available at the cursor location. For me, a long "tall" list appears. For certain tag locations, this list extends well beyond the vertical limit of my monitor. Is there a way to show this Quick Tags list as a horizontally cascading group of columns so it goes "across" my screen (as shown below)?  I'm using Arbortext Editor/Styler 6.1.
