The answer is generally yes, but there is no guarantee. > Is there a way to capture > just the customizations that I have added using 'Change document conversion > parameters'? > Unfortunately, there is no convenient way to capture in a file your custom document conversion parameters. The way XMLmind XML Editor stores named sets of document conversion parameters is undocumented and may change with any future release. Some of our customers (and also ourselves for our own documents) do not generate the document deliverables by using XMLmind XML Editor interactively. Instead, they use convertdoc which is XMLmind XML Editor as a command-line tool. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/convertdoc.html Excerpts from one of our makefiles: --- pdf: convertdoc -p variablelist.as.blocks 1 \ -p callout.graphics 0 \ -p insert.link.page.number yes -p insert.xref.page.number yes \ db5.toPSFile help.xml \ -s pdf -s "|pdf" -u $(DOC_DIR)/help.pdf --- Notice how document conversion parameters, that is, XSLT stylesheet parameters are explicitely passed to convertdoc, and thus, captured by the makefile. These makefiles are of course stored in svn, along with the source of the documentation.

However Load and Save do not prompt the user for a filename, but just for a symbolic name. This facility has been designed to quickly switch from one set of document conversion parameters (typically containing ``profiling'' parameters -- http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Profiling.html) to another set of document conversion parameters (typically containing different ``profiling'' parameters). -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List xmleditor-support@xmlmind.com http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
