1. SVG image size control in Word output - *awaiting confirmation from
XMLMind* on precise size control capabilities
SVG images found in the DITA source document are converted to PNG images
in the DOCX output file. The DOCX output file generated by XMLmind
XSL-FO Converter, https://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/, will never
contain SVG images (even if this feature may be supported by recent
versions of the DOCX format).
The size of an PNG image in the DOCX output file depends on the size of
the corresponding SVG image found in the DITA source document.
The intrinsic size of the image may be altered using one or more of the
"usual" DITA image attributes. Example using the @width attribute:
---
<image align="center" href="images/page_areas.svg" width="15cm"/>
--

2. Mixed layout implementation (landscape and vertical orientation):
- Currently possible as separate implementations
- Need to verify *if automatic separation via DITA XML outputclass
is supported by the processor*
Mixed layout implementation is not supported.
The only thing you can do is add DITA attribute orient="land" to a very
wide DITA <table> to automatically make MS-Word display it in a
"landscape page".
Example:
---
<table id="table2" orient="land">
<title>A CALS <xmlelement>table</xmlelement>.</title>
<tgroup cols="3">
<colspec colwidth="3*"/>
<thead>
<row>
<entry><p><xmlelement>thead</xmlelement><indexterm>thead</indexterm>/<xmlelement>row</xmlelement><indexterm>row</indexterm>/<xmlelement>entry</xmlelement><indexterm>entry</indexterm>
A</p></entry>
<entry><p>B</p></entry>
<entry rev="2.0">C</entry>
</row>
</thead>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry><p><xmlelement>tbody</xmlelement><indexterm>tbody</indexterm>/<xmlelement>row</xmlelement><indexterm>row</indexterm>/<xmlelement>entry</xmlelement><indexterm>entry</indexterm></p><p>A,1</p></entry>
<entry><p>B,1</p></entry>
<entry rev="2.0">C,1</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry><p>A,2</p></entry>
<entry><p>B,2</p></entry>
<entry rev="2.0"><p>C,2</p></entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>

3. TOC (Table of Contents) automatic numbering - pending processor
capability confirmation( Why numbers were not presented correctly?)
This one is a FAQ:
---
I use the page-number-citation object to print the number of pages in my
document, but the displayed value is always 0 when I load the document
in MS-Word. How can I get the correct value?

4. Two-column layout implementation:
- Need XMLMind's confirmation on feasibility
- Specifically regarding implementation *using DITA XML outputclass
(e.g., outputclass=two_column)*
Two-column layout is not supported.
More generally, out of the box, our DITA processor, XMLmind DITA
Converter, https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/, supports very few "special
values" of the outputclass attribute and these "special values" are
always documented:
See for example:
- "Giving a background color to table cells",
https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/bgcolor.html#bgcolor
- "Fancy code blocks",
https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp/codeblocks.html#codeblocks
