Wow! I just tested a small DITA file using the XMLmind XSL Utility, and the resulting PDF file is 100% nicer looking that what I have been able to create. This is awsome.
Thanks.
I did a quick test using the XSL Utility to see how changing a few of the XSLT stylesheet parameters would work in my resulting PDF file. I changed base-font-size to 12. I added paper-type as letter. I added prepend-chapter-to-section-number as no. I made no changes to number as all. The resulting PDF file showed none of these changes. What might I be doing incorrectly?
Well, I did the same changes (see attached screenshot) and I indeed saw the corresponding changes in the PDF file.
My diagnostics are: * It's base-font-size = 12pt (you forgot "pt") * It's paper-type = Letter (starts with a capital "L")* More subtle: prepend-chapter-to-section-number = no is the default value, so you cannot see any change. Morever, this setting applies only to *bookmap*s. That is, plain DITA maps are considered by DITA Converter/XSL Utility to contain only nested sections.
We recommend that you click the "Documentation" link found in the "Edit Conversion specification" dialog box (see attached screenshot) and that you copy/paste the property name and property value from the Web browser to the dialog box.
Note that, fortunately, all these settings are done once for all.
