[XXE] titlepage generation (XMLmind 5.4.1)
Hello Hussein, I’m using XMLmind > Convert to generate both webhelp and javahelp from ditamaps, but am having a small issue with the title page. PMC uses a custom element in the bookmeta area (pmc_iso) to store its ISO information, which is what I want to reproduce on the titlepage and in the footers (yes, know the footers are going to be an issue). I have the content reproducing on the title page, but my questions are as follows: 1. How do I make the title page the first link of TOC? At the moment is just floats in the project, and if I didn’t go looking for it in the directory of HTML produced by the ditac I’d never know it existed. 2. There is a persistent “Legal Notice” title on the titlepage that I can’t seem to eradicate; I can find where it is sourced from in the localization strings, but can’t see how it’s ending up on the title page. I see nothing in the ditamap that should be triggering this. I have found and modified the autoTitlePage template to draw in my ISO information, but can’t figure out where the Legal Notice information title is being called. Thanks, Jeff.

There is no real ``title page'' in XHTML-based formats like webhelp and javahelp. You are in fact talking about what's generated before the frontmatter topics. Let's call this: the ``title page'' chunk. The ``title page'' chunk is not intended to be part of the TOC. So what you want is not possible without modifying the XSLT stylesheets. However it's possible to have frontmatter topics which immediately follow the ``title page'' chunk and which will be output in the same HTML page (preferably called "index.html") to be part of the TOC. This can be achieved by a clever use of: * chunk="to-content" * copy-to="index.html" * XSLT stylesheet parameter extended-toc=both (not sure this is supported by the version of ditac which is included in XXE 5.4.1). See http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__extended-toc Actual example: --- ... --- which gives you: * http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/index.html * http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/manual.jar 2.There is a persistent “Legal Notice” title on the titlepage that I can’t seem to eradicate; I can find where it is sourced from in the localization strings, but can’t see how it’s ending up on the title page.

I have found and modified the autoTitlePage template to draw in my ISO information, but can’t figure out where the Legal Notice information title is being called. “Legal Notice” is the title which is automatically generated for a referencing a notices topic (see http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/notices.html). For example a .ditamap containing something like this: --- ... ... --- or like this: --- ... ... --- -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List xmleditor-support@xmlmind.com http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
