I have used the following header variables when transforming DITA to

glossarylist:: Glossary;; indexlist:: Index;; {{chapter-title}}toc::
Contents;; figurelist:: Contents;; tablelist:: Contents;; abbrevlist::
Acronyms;; preface:: Preface;; glossarylist:: Glossary;; indexlist::
Index;; {{chapter-title}}
I was asked to remove the document title, place the chapter title in the
header-left area, and then add topic title in the header-right area. I
copied all the header-right values to header-left, and that part works
fine. However, I put {{topic-title}} in header-right, but nothing
appears. I have checked your documentation and I am pretty sure that is
the correct parameter to use. Is there something else I need to do for
the topic title to appear in the header-right area?
That's right:
-p header-right "{{topic-title}}"
is correct and works great if you convert DITA to PDF, but does not work
when you convert DITA to DOCX.
This is in fact an XMLmind XSL-FO Converter limitation, not a ditac bug.
Unlike Apache FOP or RenderX XEP which are used to generate PDF, XMLmind
XSL-FO Converter, which is used to generate DOCX, does not support:
- fo:marker
- fo:retrieve-marker
See https://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/conformance.html
Note that {{topic-title}} and {{section1-title}} are implemented using
fo:marker and fo:retrieve-marker while {{document-title}} and
{{chapter-title}} are implemented using simpler means.
Sorry for this XMLmind XSL-FO Converter limitation. We currently don't
see how to remove it.
