Re: Publishing task - PDF - Include skin options

Thank you for this information, Tim. So I no longer have to search for a PDF skin file selection field. Nevertheless I would appreciate a possibility to set PDF publishing options (see the normal H&M configuration section) for the publishing task's export actions - either as direct options or wi...

Re: Publishing task - PDF - Include skin options

Hi Tim, thats why I wonder about the "Include skin options" box at the PDF "include options" tab (see picture in my first post). For which skin file and for which PDF options is it for? I don't speak about the quick publish area but about the "edit item" user interface ...

Sorry Tim, I wasn't aware of the new version. With 6.2 it works fine.

Leading and trailing blanks in variables (command line publ.

Is there any chance to get the possibility for leading/trailing space characters in variables when using skin files during command line publishing? Using "V=file_with_list_of_variables.txt" works fine, leading space characters in "VariableX= xyz" are recognised. But using "O...

Publishing task - PDF - Include skin options

For what purpose is there an "Include skin options" box in the PDF include options? My hope: Here I can select hand-made skin files (xml) that I normally use for command line publishing. But how do I select files here? In the H&M help file I haven't found an answer yet. I need the PDF ...

PDF Output Style "Create Table of contents" in Batch Mode?

I use a batch file for creating a bunch of PDF files. Some PDFs shall get a TOC in the bookmarks section and some must not. Is it possible to declare this within the INI file? Or is it only possible to switch this option within H&M? Generally spoken: Is it possible to set the PDF output style op...

Re: Text style does not inherit paragraph style

I comprehend Freddys problem very well. Sometimes I also miss the possibility to define *one* "partial" text style that changes only one attribute (for instance colour) in the text - no matter what font or size or effect or style is used in the text. I don't like to define extra child styl...

Re: Control page breaks in the TOC for PDF

seconded. Maybe also a minimum number of lines of the same level that shall stick together, when I want to avoid the situation that lheckman has described but don't want that *all level 2 headings have to stick to the level 1 heading. btw: This would be my wish for table rows as well. The "Tabl...

Re: Shortcut for ELSE and ENDIF tags (Conditions)

Hi Tim,

Snippets are ok, for me this falls in the wide category "copy & paste something" which often is really usefull (also tables etc.). I thought there could be some improvement beside this.
I just realised that I had forgotten the attachment. So it comes here.

Regards,
Alex

Re: Documenting the ever-changing Windows environment...

Hi Sheri, when it is an option to hand out one separate document for each windows version, you could use conditions and different builds "XP", "Vista", "W7". More comfortable, when there are many repetitions: skins where you define variables . Example: <%dir_documents%>...
