[XXE] footers
I know I've seen something about footers in the XML Mind documentation, but
now I want to check the information I can't find it again :-{
I've just happily converted a short set of Functional Specs to DITA, then
produced HTML help as portable output. What I'm now wondering is, can I use
DITA critdates to include "last updated" in a/the footer? There is a
general assertion or belief that distributing content on-line helps make
sure readers always have access to the latest version, but given their
tendency to print pages out I feel a visible time-stamp is still something
I'd like to provide.
Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.

Re: [XXE] footers
[ps] thoughtful use of grep has turned up the page about Print options, but
I'm not sure that's what I need.

There is a way[*] to do this when generating XSL-FO based formats (PDF,
RTF, etc), but not when generating HTML-based formats.
This means that if you really need this feature, then you'll have to
customize the XSLT stylesheets which generate HTML help.

This is indeed not related to what you want to do. Print options are
used to parameterize XMLmind XML Editor's "File|Print".

[*] {{document-date}}, page header/footer variable. See

Re: [XXE] footers
Thanks for the quick and helpful answer, Hussein. I'll bear XSLT tuning in
mind, though it might not get to the top of my to-do list immediately :-}

Re: [XXE] RTF output does not include any image
Mats B. wrote: When testing the RTF output, it seems images are not included I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce this problem. When this happens, in general, this means that: * The user has opened the RTF file in a word processor other than Microsoft Word 2000+. When we generate RTF, WordprocessingML, .docx, we exclusively target Microsoft Word. When we generate .odt, we exclusively target OpenOffice/LibreOffice. In other words, we do not consider RTF to be an interchange format supported by most word processors. OR * The images referenced in the source document have problems (e.g. incorrect resolution information; something like 100dpi) OR * The user is using custom XSL stylesheets which generate somewhat incorrect XSL-FO. More information in this FAQ: --- My .fo file contains a fo:external-graphic element which points to an existing JPEG file, but this image is not showing in the document generated by XFC. Are there known bugs related to image support in XFC? --- http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/faq.html#image_not_showing and the output says something about a plugin needed? What plugin is that? I'm sorry but I don't know. In principle, out of the box, XMLmind XML Editor v5.8 includes almost all add-ons. Therefore, in principle, the issue you describe should not happen. If you want to see the error messages which are reported during a document conversion task, but after this task is finished, please refer to the following documentation: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/statusTool.html -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List xmleditor-support@xmlmind.com http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
