I know that dita-css creates somewhere and somehow a single-page HTML as input for an external
CSS Paged Media converter. Is it possible to get hold of this file as part of the conversion process?

I have a DITA table with spanned rows using @morerows like the sample below. The spanned rows are not respected in the PDF (attached). In searching through the CSS code I can't find "morerows" so I assume it's not implemented. How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Mark

I'm using Antenna House. I'm creating even-odd alternate-colored table rows by using ordinary nth-child CSS like this:

*[class~="topic/row"]:nth-child(even){ background: #DDEEFF; }

This works in the PDF. And row and columns spans work because of the fix in issue #10.

But when I combine table spans with even-odd CSS table row colors, the rows are rendered wrong. The colored row goes all the way across the row, without respecting the spanned rows. See dita-test.pdf.

dita-test.pdf

But Antenna House does this correctly with HTML/CSS to PDF. See html-test.pdf.

html-test.pdf

Any ideas?

I'm wondering if all this would be easier if I were using CSS on HTML instead of DITA XML.

Thanks,
Mark

I have installed this into a DITA-OT 3.1.2 installation and don't get beyond the point that some sort of common oxygenxml library plugin is searched. Please provide a link to this library or perhaps give a hint in the Readme that this library is needed but not available.

Thanks, Sven

Hello,
I can use this plugin now. But if I want to modify it, do we have some documents as instructions? Such as, change cover page or header.
Thanks a lot.

Trying to genereat a single Topic, not a MapI get the following Error:

merged2pdf:

BUILD FAILED
C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 16\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\build.xml:53: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 16\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\com.sartorius-intec.pdf.prince\build.xml:60: input file C:\Users\hp\Desktop\temp\pdf-prince\stage1a.xml does not exist

Is the Transformation meant to work with single DITA-Topic Files?

Hi, plugin.xml gives "pdfreactor" as a value under css.processor.type. Will this plugin also work with PDFReactor?

Using DITA-OT v3.1 or v3.2.1, attempting to process a book fails in pdf-css.xslt-pipeline-post-process with these messages:

Is there a workaround for this?

I don't see a parameter for turning off the table of contents page. Do you have a suggestion for the simplest way to turn it off?

Thanks,
