How to present visual tags in output that correspond to element attributes in a topic

Forum topic: Submitted by ldyer on Fri, 2008-09-12 18:35.

Hi all,

We have a requirement to deliver context-sensitive content based on metadata on elements within a topic. One output is embedded into a third-party app and the correct content for each context is shown based on the metadata attributes. A custom XSLT is required to produce the right schema (i.e. we bypass DITA-OT processing entirely).

In PDF and XHTML, we need to show the content of all elements, with some visual way of describing their contexts. We use DITA-OT processing for these outputs.

Martin added a function to the top-level frameset of the collection. The function contained the following code:
