[XXE] changing default font for .pdf conversion

I feel I should preface this question with many apologies ... but shall merely say I'm finally getting to grips with XML Mind and DITA for the first time, and don't yet know where to find all the information you've already made available. context: I've been happily setting up DITA topics based on

Re: [XXE] small problem outputting javahelp

. - [NGN] Thanks; I'd misunderstood what I needed to specify as default viewer, and not noticed that I needed to specify the MIME type. [HS] This is clearly documented here: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dita/help-2.html#map_menu [NGN] I'm not disputing that it's documented; I'm

Re: [XXE] pixels or even centimetres instead of percentages in colgroup style

I'm intrigued by the question, in the sense that if I wanted fine control over column widths for a print-oriented format I wouldn't start from xhtml g In a screen-oriented format, I'd be happy with the familiar 'relative' widths; which is also more in line with fluid and responsive design. On Jan

Re: [XXE] DITA attribute collection-type=family – no visible result in web help

Thanks for the quick explanation. I can see the logic of relying on the left-hand navigation when it's present, but for a large topic-set – this one is currently around 460, though thanks to XXE it's been remarkably easy to prepare – I suspect users will collapse the minor topics; so it could be a

Fun, in a way … and goes to show what an unreliable tool Word is :-} I'm very impressed with the Paste from Word feature, which I've found also lets me paste lists and table from works well with content from grown-up FrameMaker as well as Word. I sha'n't try opening Jeff's self-destruct file …

Re: [XXE] Track changes

As for track changes in general, I've concluded over the years that simply turning it on in the hope that the software (any software) will produce usable results … doesn't work :-} I prefer to make sure changes are large enough to comprehend, and then mark them by hand with FM conditions or –

Re: [XXE] Track changes

Thank-you very much! I'll wait until my new laptop has been delivered and I have my XML Mind up to date, then enthusiastically experiment. It will be a real help to me to be able to use the status attribute to highlight changes between published versions. On 30 June 2015, Hussein Shafie

Excellent! thanks again for keeping me posted; I have now succesfully used both status values and product values to give neatly coloured output, and it is a major step forward for me. One observation, though, after checking

[XXE] Navigation pane

Hm. Haven't installed 7.x yet, but I can be sure I'll miss the Navigation pane – not for shorter documents, but for longer ones. It's a pretty obvious scenario: reviewer says "Hey, we need to update something in 2.6.5!" and by far the most efficient way to locate the topic in question is to

Re: [XXE] Navigation pane

Well, perhaps it seems like a minor issue … but the map is a lot harder to scan! and, indeed, out of the box the topic titles are displayed in a paler colour than the filenames. (worse on the laptop than in the screenshot) Up till now, one of the (many) discreet strengths of XXE has been that

Re: [XXE] Impossible to edit complex HTML table elements

CALS tables are a lot of fun, and I've not had any problems tweaking them in XXE. As part of what I hope will become a steady march towards the future, I regularly use Paste as table to rescue content from a certain popular word-processor before tidying up the content in XXE. The only issue
