Hi
We localize our doc and the translator software need us to use the
xml:lang=en_us tag for our topics. I'm trying to find a way to get XML
Mind to include that in the basic topic template. I tried to use the
feature that allows you to customize template elements, but it doesn't
work.
Sorry but I'm not 100% sure to understand what you want to do.
The idea is to customize all the stock topic, concept, reference, task,
etc, document templates (those used by "File|New").
Please try to use "Options|Customize Configuration|Save Document As
Template" (and not "Options|Customize Configuration|Save Selected
Element As Template").
See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/customizeConfigurationMenu.html
You need to start by creating say a new Concept file by using
"File|New", add xml:lang="en-US" to its root element, add id="concept"
to its root element, save the file anywhere you want (the saved file is
anyway copied elsewhere) and then select "Options|Customize
Configuration|Save Document As Template".
In this dialog box,
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.app.part.SaveAsTemplateAction.Prompt.html
specify the same info (name, category, order) as for the stock Concept
document. This will allow you to override the stock Concept document by
a similar one having xml:lang="en-US".
Alternatively, you may want to do the same thing by hand by customizing
the DITA Topic configuration.
You need to replace the stock topic templates by similar templates
having xml:lang="en-US".
How to do this is explained here:
Customizing an existing configuration
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/customizing.html
and more precisely:
Replacing an existing document template
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/replace_template.html
I'm not sure if that's because it's the conbody element or because
it's an attribute, but I think this may be a bug.
If there is another way I can add the xml:lang attribute to my concepts
and tasks templates automatically
See above.
(and in a way I can roll out to my group) please let me know.
"in a way I can roll out to my group" is a different problem.
