How can I configure the Compare tool to ignore non-ascii character encoding

$
0
0

In Arbortext Editor you can select how to write non-ascii characters - either character entity references, numeric character references or characters.

 

If you are comparing a document that was saved using a different method for non-ascii characters the compare tool lights up like a christmas tree.

 

It would be nice to be able to configure the tolerance of the compare tool to ignore the difference of non-ascii characters that were written in different formats.


Counter of Figure Title

$
0
0

 

Hi,

I have figures that are labeled Fig 1-1, FIg 1-2 etc. The first numeral is the section number. The counter increments by 1 every time a new figure is encountered. However sometimes we have occurrences of graphic 'sheets', that is called sheet 1 of 3, sheet 2 of 3, sheet 3 of 3. Then the figures are labeled:

 

Fig 1-3 (sheet 1 of 3)

Fig 1-4 (sheet 2 of 3)

Fig 1-5 (sheet 3 of 3)

 

I would like to stop figure incrementing by means of Styler when are sheets:

Fig 1-2 

Fig 1-3 (sheet 1 of 3)

Fig 1-3 (sheet 2 of 3)

Fig 1-3 (sheet 3 of 3)

Fig 1-4

 

We use Arbortext Styler 6.1, FOSI engine.

Thanks

Rich

Share same setting values of Preferences with multiple users

$

Dear all,

 

I am trying to figure out how the system administrator can configure the same setting among multiple Arbortext Editors.

For example, In Arbortext Editor, Tools > Preferences > Preferences dialog box > Advanced > Acvanced Preferences dialog box, there is a preference named "newlist. How would you share the setting values of this "newlist" among multiple users? And how the system administrator configures it?

 

FYI, I have already tried on the environmental variable "APTWCF" but it was not suitable for this purpose, because it also shared unnecessary values in Tools > Preferences. 

 

I look forward to your reply.

 

Kind regards,

Tomomi

Java classpath issue with jfxrt.jar in AE 6.1

$

Hi all,

 

 

I'm faced with an issue concerning our Arbortext Editor extension which is written in Java and uses JavaFX 2 for its UI.

 

My issue is that I need to have jfxrt.jar in the classpath in order for this to work.

Since this jar is part of the runtime since at least Java 1.7 I thought I needed to do nothing to work with the classes defined in this jar, but AE is not seeing them. When I manually add the jar to the classpath using

 

APTCLASSPATH=D:\Program Files\PTC\Arbortext Editor\bin\x86\jre\lib\jfxrt.jar

 

Then I can use them.

 

Is this expected behaviour ?

 

If so is there a way to add it programmatically ?

I would need to retrieve the Installation path of Arbortext Editor in ACL in order to be able to do this.

 

I tried "set classpath" and "append_java_classpath", but both did not work.

 

Any ideas ?

I made a manual as my generic, now I want to make another manual using the same files.  I made all my files through the dita map of the first manual.  Now that I want to make the second one, i can't do a save as, there is no link, therefore I started another dita map.  Now I don't see the files that are saved on my hard drive to pick from I only see the dita map created, if I try to insert file they are directly linked to the previous dita map in the filename.  How do I make a second manual from those files if I can't pick from them?St

  • Fixed problem with incorrect nodeinfo on namespace declarations and namespaced attributes. (SPR 2201601)
  • Fixed incorrect DTD parser errors when declaring namespaced elements or attributes. (SPR 2144978)
  • Fixed a pointer error when using column footers around a nested table (SPR 2239008)
  • Fixed a pointer error when stripping off a whole row that was 'spanned-into' (SPR 2239008)
  • Fixed drawing of rules at the top of a page when it starts with a new row that is being spanned into by a cell from a previous row and which is keeping the top of the row together (<?tbrkeept=1>)  (SPR 2187387)
  • Fixed potential lockup or crash when seeing a columnbreak within balanced columns (SPR 2237363)
  • Fixed repeating block headers when the first thing in the column is displaystyle maths (SPR 2077916)
  • Fixed possible loss of column header when a 2nd level header is defined at the point where the 1st one was being repeated (SPR 2191554)
  • Fixed several issues with column footers in a multicolumn block within a nested block that also had a footer (SPR 2202252)
  • Fixed use of displaystyle maths when using break across columns in a slim table or block (SPR 2192154)
  • Fixed use of <?tpacr> and <?tbacross> when nested in a multicolumn block that's balancing (SPR 2195769)
  • Fixed crash saving 3d file when the pasteboard has been deleted (SPR 2250758)

And the FOM release notes say this:

  • Added fTemplate.DEBUGFLAG_XPATH constant.
  • Changed type of fIndexItem.ignoreMarkup from a boolean to an integer.
  • Added fIndexItem.IgnoreMarkupModes constant group.
  • Added fFormatting.pageLabelStore method.
  • Added fTemplate.pageLabelLocate method.
  • Added fFootnoteReference.allow property.
  • Added fFootnoteReference.AllowFlags constant group.
  • Removed fFootnoteReference.TYPE_END constant.
  • Added fBookmark.parent, fBookmark.pdfName properties.
  • Added fBookmarkReference.parent, fBookmarkReference.pdfName properties.
  • Added fxDocument.languageAttrName, fxDocument.defaultLanguage properties.
  • Added fxDocument.getLanguageFromAttr(), fxDocument.setLanguageMapping() methods.
  • Added fxElement.getLanguage() method.
  • Added fdFrameColumn object.
  • Added fdFrame.columns property.

 

You’ll notice from the FOM information that a number of feature additions have crept in:

  • XPath debug – this feature allows template developers to generate a report which shows low long APP spends processing XPath expressions. The output can be directed to a log. If your template is running slowly, this is a helpful tool to see whether your XPath usage is the cause. Often bad XPath expressions can be written to be more efficient.
  • Page labels are an interesting addition which may help with cross references and other things which refer to a page. The ‘store’ function allows you to store a string which APP then associates with a page. The ‘locate’ method then allows you to use that string as a key to return an array of the pages which have that label associated with it. It returns an array because the same label may be stored on more than one page.
  • PDF bookmarks have been enhanced so that you can give them a name, and then use that name as the parent of a bookmark you’re adding to the document. This gives you some control over the tree structure that gets generated for PDF bookmarks. Be aware that the parent name must exist in the tree before you add a child to it.
  • The DOM language functionality has been added for APP’s integration with Styler, but I can see a use for this in APP templates which are written for multiple languages where you would want to, say, output different boilerplate content or format differently depending on the current language.

 

Enjoy!

Does anyone know if locked licenses of Arbortext Editor can be used globally or are they tied to contracts like concurrent licenses?

Arbortext vs Framemaker?

Hi,

 

Are there any obvious advantages/disadvantages when using Arbortext instead of Adobe Framemaker? I have not worked with Framemaker, and any advice as to what Editor+Styler does better/worse than Framemaker would be greatly appreciated (pricing, functionality, ease of use etc).

 

Thanks!

Adding profiles to tags - errors

Hello,

 

Some of our users are experiencing problems when profiling tags.

Attached are the error messages.

 

Some of the documents used in our company contain a large number of profiles. Moreover, our xml file containing all the profiles that we use is also quite large.

Is there any character limit that we might be exceeding? Or maybe something else is causing this?

 

Thank you very much in advance.

IsoDraw 7 runs slowly on 64-bit

just got a new computer, 64-bit 12gig ram. All other apps seem to work fine but IsoDraw 7.0 is very slow. Sometimes sits 1-2 minutes between dialog boxes. Seems weird to only affect one program like this. Anyone else experience any slowness with IsoDraw on 64-bit machines?

XML stylesheet error

Hi!

 

I am converting SGML doctypes to XML but I get the following error when running the stylesheet validation:

 

Expected an element name

 

The error points to a parameter entity in the DTD:

<!ELEMENT entry              %tblcon;>

 

I have removed this and tried validation but the errors always point to parameter entities.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Ali
