Hi,
Someone in one of the meeting here at Intel ask about getting the following
changes done. First I what to ask what is the risks of making the changes only
for the increase in their efficiency? How many modules would be effect both in
XED and XLST? Would there changes effects any upgrades releases in the future.
Should they be happy with the current system and don't worry so much about
efficiency as along as they have a clean conversiojn?
Thanks in Advance for any input.
Background: The stylesheets for OSA/IPIX work very well. Some of the settings
that are brought through by the conversion script are blocking the stylesheets
and should not be converted. My team is manually correcting the files after the
conversion, but it would increase our efficiency to let the converter to do the
corrections.
FWIW, OSA uses only simple topics (I don't know if other teams use it for other
topic types).
Table settings
* Remove table width (pgwide attribute for the table element)
* Remove column width (colwidth attribute for the colspec element)
* Remove all vertical alignment settings (valign attribute for entry, row, and
tbody)
Figure/image settings
* Remove expanse attribute for fig element (if it's currently included-I'm not
sure about this one)
* Image size...
For OSA conversions, we'd like all of the image settings to be cleared and
assigned standard attributes:
width="385pt"
placement="break"
Do not set a horizontal alignment attribute
I think this attribute assignment needs more discussion, though. I don't know
how other groups in Intel are using the converter, and those who are not
converting for OSA may not want these settings, particularly the width, which
is set for PDFs. Perhaps it would be possible to create a destination XLST file
type specifically for OSA simple topics?
Cross references
Would it be possible to bring in the xrefs with descriptive text? Here's an
example of what we need in the final code:
<xref href="GUID-3DD49FD5-B64A-4F10-9611-B2F39BE10C56" format="dita"
type="simpletopic" scope="local"> <?xm-replace_text Pin List Ball
Map ?>
</xref>
It would be really helpful if xrefs could be brought in with the
xm-replace_text tag that uses the text that was originally used to make the
link in the Word file-in this case it was Pin List Ball Map.
[Edit made 5/18/16: removed image setting request for align="center" and said
alignment should not be set at all.
Again Thanks,
Ray Moore
