B1: I am trying to indent all topic text. I found the responsible statement in "fo_indent.xsl", however it refused to work. Then I found an error in the XSL files: The import of "fo.xsl" must be removed from "fo_indent.xsl" and an import of "fo_indent.xsl" must be added to "fo.xsl". With this change the indent works. Just a small payback for your service for a "not-yet-paying" customer ... However, texts created via "commonUtil.xsl" are not indented and I could not find an indention setting for them yet. Can you give a hint?
No. It's really "fo_indent.xsl" (specialisation) which should import "fo.xsl" (generic).
See "fo_indent.xsl" (thoroughly tested like all XMLmind software) at work: http://www.xmlmind.com/tutorials/DITA/DITA-book.pdf The above PDF was generated using the following command-line: ---xxetool convert -fop -p title-color "rgb(57,73,134)" -p extended-toc both -p use-note-icon yes -t ditac-xsl:fo/fo_indent.xsl \
-p two-sided yes \
dita.toPSFile tutorial-book.ditamap \
-s pdf -s pdf -u ../DITA-book.pdf

(xxetool is the command-line version of XXE. See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/xxetool/index.html )
B2:
I failed to move a figure/image into the empty space left of the text
indention. Whatever I do, the graphic never leaves the text body area. I am
stuck at the following XML code:
<fig expanse="page">
<image align="left" href="esd_piktogramm.png" placement="break"/>
</fig>
expanse="page" is not supported.
B3:
I failed to create a <table> element without any border lines. Whatever I do
(@frame=none, @rosep=no, @colsep=no whereever I can), I get a table without outer
lines but still lines between cells. I am stuck at the following XML code:
<table colsep="no" frame="none" rowsep="no">
<tgroup cols="2" colsep="no" rowsep="no">
<colspec colsep="no" colwidth="65*" rowheader="norowheader"
rowsep="no"/>
<colspec colsep="no" colwidth="935*" rowsep="no"/>
<tbody>
<row rowsep="no">
<entry colsep="no" rowsep="no">30</entry>
<entry colsep="no" rowsep="no"/>
</row>
<row rowsep="no">
<entry colsep="no" rowsep="no">31</entry>
<entry colsep="no" rowsep="no"/>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>
Cannot reproduce this issue. Simply adding colsep="no" frame="none" rowsep="no" to the table works fine for me. See attached Test.dita, Test.pdf.
B4: When inserting a pagebreak processing-instruction with XXE (Edit > Processing Instruction > ..., typing "pagebreak always") I get XML code "<?target pagebreak always?>". However, fo.xsl expects "<?pagebreak always?>". Therefore no page break happens. When I manually correct the PI in the XML to "pagebreak always" a page break is created. This should be corrected ...
The supported processing-instruction is simply "<?pagebreak?>". This processing-instruction must be placed between elements that generate blocks of text (e.g. after a paragraph, section or table, not inside a table).
Within XXE:1) Insert a processing-instruction using "Edit| Processing Instruction|Insert Processing Instruction Before" (or "Insert Processing Instruction After").
2) Use "Edit| Processing Instruction|Change Processing Instruction Target" to change default "target" to "pagebreak".
After doing that, all the processing-instructions you'll insert within the same editing session will have "pagebreak" as their targets.

B5: Despite lots of attempts I could not prevent page breaks between table rows. What is the correct processing-instruction and where should it be placed within the XML code?
There is no such processing-instruction.If this feature is really needed, you can implement it yourself by customizing the DITA XSLT stylesheets using our "XMLmind XSL Customizer" helper application. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xslcustom.Customizer.html
You could add XSL-FO attribute (https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#keep-together): keep-together=always to the attribute-sets called "table" and "simpletable". --> More generally, please take the time to read this FAQ: ---How do I customize the HTML, PDF, RTF, etc, generated using the "Convert Document" menu?

B6: We need other icons for the hazardstatements (conforming to common standards). When I experimentally replaced one icon I recognized that each icon is duplicated at various places ... making it necessary to replace every copy at every location. Pretty tedious work. Will these multiple icon locations some time change to a single icon resource location? This is not urgent as I can help myself and write a tool to perform this mass replacement for me.
No need for that. Simply replace <XXE_install_dir>/addon/config/dita/xsl/fo/*.png,*.svg (e.g. caution.png, danger.svg) by PNG/SVG icons of your own.
B7: An info for your "insert_boilerplate" tutorial chapter: You should mention that the presented "Include"-tool must be enabled in the preferences.
This lesson already starts with the following note: ---The Include tool is hidden by default. To display it, you need to use Options→Preferences, General|Features section and check "Enable the Include tool".
--- See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_tutorial/insert_boilerplate/index.html
B8: An info for your "101 ways to select nodes" tutorial chapter: Change the text "Now there" to "However, there are".
Done. Thanks. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_tutorial/select_nodes/index.html
