Dear Ditac Support, I am a relatively new user of ditac and dita, and I am currently having trouble with the 'passthrough' action in ditaval filters ( http://docs.oasisopen.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/ditaval-prop.html).
I am attempting to do the following: I have defined a specialized attribute from props, and I wish to pass this attribute to the html5 output. For example, if in the dita I have <xref href="blah" newattribute ="newvalue"/> I want to produce in the html5 output, something like: <a href="blah" data-newattribute = "newvalue"/> where the attribute's value is then used in javascript. The specialsed attribute has, I believe, been implemented correctly (it passes validation). I understand, from the dita spec ( http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/ditaval-prop.html), that applying the filter: <val> <props att="newattribute" action = "passthrough" /> </val> will achieve this. I am confident the filter is being picked up, as the action exclude seems to work correctly (it removes elements with the attribute). However, the attribute will not appear in the output and this seems to be either: a bug, or, my own misunderstanding of the dita spec and therefore this cannot be achieved. Ditac Version: 3.1.0 Java Version 1.8.0_91 OS Windows 7 Kind Regards, Oliver Hall
