… just to be sure I’m not missing something.
The table in the screenshot is beautifully coloured by using an
easyProfile and the props value of each row, but I’m not sure how much
else I might be able to do.
q 1 – this (helpful) colouring is not showing up in output formats
including WebHelp, ePub and pdf: I guess the props attribute on a row is
not recognised for this sort of thing?
Just in case, have you selected a profile from your ".profiles" file
before performing the conversion? ( see "In v7, the procedure is:" in
http://www.mail-archive.com/xmleditor-support@xmlmind.com/msg11097.html )
If this is not the cause of the problem, then please send us all the
files allowing to reproduce the issue here at XMLmind.
q 2 – even after carefully reading the Helps, I can’t work out how /
whether I can use the props attribute on a row to exclude rows from a table
The props attribute set on a row works just like any other conditional
processing attribute set on any element. See
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/os/part2-tech-content/archSpec/base/conditional-processing-attributes.html
Simply,
1) the "Easy Profiling" add-on does not support *grouped* attribute values.
Example: props="groupA(a b) groupA(c) groupZ(APPNAME)"
See
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/os/part2-tech-content/archSpec/base/usage-of-conditional-processing-attributes.html#usage-of-conditional-processing-attributes
See also "This add-on is incompatible with the use of some advanced DITA
1.3 features" in
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/profiling/what_is_it.html
2) XMLmind XML Editor (and its embedded XMLmind DITA Converter) itself
does not support grouped attribute values before v7.2.
q 3 – while I’m at it … I haven’t installed the spreadsheet plug-in yet.
Does the spreadsheet plugin support sorting? obviously not a trivial task
No. For now, the spreadsheet plug-in
(http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/spreadsheet/index.html)
has been used exclusively by engineers wanting to embed (sometime very
complex) computed values in the documents they author. I mean, the
spreadsheet plug-in is not a way to make tables easier to edit.
You can already sort the rows of a table by clicking in a cell and
selecting "Sort Rows" from the menu of the "Table column" toolbar
button. See
