Thanks for the tip, Scott! I've signed up for that. Tiffany, I don't see any harm sharing it here as presumably it's time-limited anyway. The code is: HEATUP.

No length limits in the specification. You might want to define limits in your Information Model, however. JoAnn JoAnn T. Hackos, PhD President Comtech

XSLT: chapter vs appendix

Within an attribute set, can I determine if I'm in a chapter or appendix? I tried @class without success.

Semi-relevant fun facts: Browsers are inconsistent on character length of URLs. IE is somewhere around 2083 in the URL and double that when following a link.

I think some of the problems may be due to Ant's behaviour as a build tool. When the output file is newer than the input file, it will not run the XSLT. I am

Our biggest concern right now is one of the engineering groups is developing a script for their team that will take registers and generate DITA topics out of

There isn't one other than what makes sense to you. Considering that the addressing is built on the uri with the ID, I would opt for short but meaningful. HTH,

Another workaround would be to add a resource-only topicref to the image you're dependent on (making sure the format matches the filetype) into your map. The
