AutoSaving Records to Appropriate Sharepoint Buckets

I'm trying to alleviate the user painpoint of having to input metadata and/or select a folder in Sharepoint when saving a file by automating this process: creating pre-built, intelligent templates that can be selected to complete...and when the user 'Saves' the file it automatically is directed to the appropriate SharePoint folder (current file types could be MS Word, a PDF, etc.)...wouldn't it be better to create a DITAMAP template instead?...working in a SharePoint environment.

Any ideas? -- many thanks in advance.

Refering another dita file in step tag

Hi ,

I am trying to create PDF using DITA  OT 1.5

 I have some steps in a dita file. But now i need to invoke another dita file from this dita file.

For example

<!-- StepFile1.dita --> 

<steps>

   <step ........................../>

   <step ........................./>    

<!-- This is nested step file, which will be similiar to StepFile1.dita(current) file, which will in turn contains some steps -->

MathML support & rendering

Hello,

 

can someone explain me, how to use MathML in Dita the right way?

Tried with http://dita.xml.org/wiki/math-domain-elements  and the <math> tag, which is specialized from <foreign>.

My dita file uses a task with inline mathml by <math>. With DITA OT 1.5.1 and the Idiom FO Plugin, the equations aren't rendered or the Build fails, in case of dita2PDF.

 

Maybe you got some links / hints for me.

Thanks
