I am looking for someone to help me get Oxygen not to break with everything
I try. I have watched every webinar and searched for answers, but it is just
not helping.

 

I am new to Oxygen. I have a very large set of books that I need to get
going quickly. While I have figured some complex things out, I can't get the
basics working. I need to set up a project that will have three large books
in it. For now, I am just trying to get one working.

 

I set up a project and added the ditamap I have been working on. I use the
Ditamap PDF - based on HTML5 &CSS scenario and it outputs ok, although the
bookmark are all squishy.

 

I want to customize the output, so I duplicate the scenario and change some
parameters and save as a publishing template and add to my project.  Now I
can output using the new scenario. If I use miniTOC, things get messed up.
The only way to get rid of the problem is to delete the whole project and
scenario and start over.. I do that and the new scenario works (without
minTOC). Now I try to edit the css in the publishing template. No matter
what I try to edit, even if I put in a period and then delete it, Oxygen
breaks and won't transform anything. It says there is a problem with
build.xml Again, the only way to get it working again is to delete
everything and start over.

 

All I really need are the following items. 

 

*       Headers Bold non serif
*       Table format: shaded top row and full borders
*       Line under the first header(title). 
*       Headers to continue for tables (not available in Parameters) 
*       minitoc would be nice, but not necessary if it causes problems.
*       hyphenation
*       I'll need to configure the cover page at some point

 

This is really basic stuff that should take me a few miniutes. I just don't
understand how to get it setup and working in Oxygen. I don' think that it
will take more than 2 hours to get all this going. I have put about 18 in to
attempting to make it work. 

 

Between this and the issue I had with Equation conversion from Word (which
Radu thankfully helped me through), I am way behind. If I can just get this
basic startup, the rest should be pretty smooth. Creating the ditamap and
content is not my issue and if I make no changes to the scenario or CSS I
can output to PDF. But i do need to make changes to the CSS (or scenario)
and I need help getting that working as soon as possible.

 

Thanks,

 

Debbi
