I thought I'd fully understood how to have visible tracked changes using the standard
"status" attribute, but I've obviously forgotten something. I've started by
re-reading http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/profiling/index.html, and can
now:
* use a .profiles file Topic > Conditional processing > Select profile > Conditional
processing profiles to have visible feedback on "status" while editing.
* alternatively, I can specify a .ditaval file Topic > Conditional processing >
Select profile > Use .ditaval file and have visible tracked changes in the .pdf
I'm sorry but I don't understand.
I can just say in case it can help that all the documentation including:
XMLmind XML Editor - Easy Profiling
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/profiling/index.html
and all the tutorials, including:
Conditional processing made easy
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_tutorial/easy_profiling/index.html
currently on line apply to XMLmind XML|DITA|DocBook|XHTML Editor v7 and
not to v6 anymore.
You have a local copy of XMLmind XML Editor v6.6 on your computer. You
can access simply by selecting menu item "Help|Full Documentation Set".
Please refer to this local copy and not to what's found in
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/documentation.html.
What I've forgotten is how to be greedy and have visible change-tracking both
on screen in XXE and in the generated .pdf. I've added a reference to our
earlier exchange of mails on this topic, in case it helps.
In v7, the procedure is:
1) Create a .profiles file. Let's call it "status.profiles".
(Forget about .ditaval files. These will be automatically generated
behind the scene by XXE.)
2) In this profiles file,
a) Specify the possible values of the "status" attribute (e.g.
"deleted", "changed", "new") and give a distinctive style to each
"status" value.
b) Add a single "dummy" profile. Let's call it "HighlightStatus". This
dummy profile uses the "status" attribute and allows all its possible
values. See attached screenshot.
3) Open your map and use "Map|Conditional Processing|Select Profile" to
associate the "status.profiles" file and its single profile
"HighlightStatus" to your map.
4) Check "Tools|Use as Master Document".
This is done once for all. From now, the elements having a "status"
attribute found in the map or in any of its topics will be given a
distinctive style on screen AND this will be also the case in the
generated WebHelp, PDF, etc.
In v6, same procedure without step #4 (no "Tools|Use as Master Document"
in v6).
But v6 requires you to always open a topic from its map (e.g. double
click the topicref).
With v7, once "Use as Master Document" is checked, the topic inherits
the profile of its map no matter how this topic has been opened (double
click the topicref, File|Open, etc) among many other useful things.
