Hi Radu,
Thank you for your reply. I am afraid I am not XSLT-savvy enough to
adapt sketched code and I have never created any DITA-OT plugin. I would
need the exact code and precise instructions where to put that code in
the CHM transformation...
I wonder whether the following solution I found for MiramoPDF could be
adapted to oXygen's CHM transformation?
Copyright.dita
<ph audience="print" outputclass="current_year">
...\Oxygen XML Editor
21\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT3.x\plugins\com.miramo.oris-mmpdf\config\xsl\custom.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
exclude-result-prefixes="xs opentopic" version="2.0"
xmlns:mm="http://www.miramo.com/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:opentopic="http://www.idiominc.com/opentopic";>
<xsl:include href="./functionstubs.xsl"/>
*<xsl:variable name="bc.currentDate" select="format-date(current-date(),
'[Y0001]')"/>
<xsl:template match="*[@outputclass = 'current_year']" >
<xsl:value-of select="$bc.currentDate" />
</xsl:template>*
</xsl:stylesheet>
Could this code be added somewhere in the CHM transformation?
Regards,
Frank

Hi Frank,
An Oxygen editor variable expands only once. You seem to need some
kind of macro which would expand every time you publish.
So you seem to need more like a publishing customization.
For DITA XML maybe you can use the <data> element with a certain name:
<data name="currentYear"/>
and then create a DITA Open Toolkit XSLT-based customization plugin
which matches this element at publishing time and replaces it with the
current date. Are you familiar with XSLT? Would you like to pursue
this direction? If so maybe I can try to sketch a small publishing
plugin which would do this.
Regards,
Radu

Hi list,
How can I insert the current date into a dita file? I would like to
have oXygen automatically update the year of a copyright notice. I
know that I can define editor variables. But how can I embed them in
the dita code?
If this needs to be tied to the XSL that produces the deliverable: I
need this for CHM, which I generate with oXygen. (I have already
found a solution for MiramoPDF. ) And I'd need to know where exactly
to add the code... Thank you.
Regards,
Frank
