I just upgraded to Framemaker 10. I am encountering a number of problems when I try to work with my Dita XML help topics, which were last saved in Framemaker 9 format.
1. Using the Default Dita Template
When I open one of my documents in Framemaker 10, the Dita 1.2 template ditabase.fm is automatically applied. Everything seems fine. But then when I convert the XML to Eclipse help (which is essentially html, so we're going from XML to HTML) using Dita Open Toolkit ant scripts, I see this message:
[pipeline] [DOTJ013E][ERROR] Failed to parse the referenced file 'html\c_licensing.xml' due to below exception. Please correct the reference base on the exception message.
[pipeline] c_licensing.xml Line 25:Attribute "xmlns:ditaarch" must be declared for element type "dita".
I then opened the xml file in a text editor, and I saw this on line 25:
<dita xmlns:ditaarch = "http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/">
Line 25 looks fine to me. Am I missing something?
2. Switching to a 1.1 Dita Template
I tried to work around the above problem. In Framemaker, I tried to set a different structured application as the default one. I closed all files and chose the default Dita 1.1 structured application (it defaults to the Dita 1.1. Composite app.)
Then I tried to open my file: I got this message inside Framemaker:
"Validation of XML failed. Continue?
Error at [FILE PATH], line 25, char 72, Message: Attribute '{http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/}ditaarch' is not declared for element 'dita'
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
I switched from the default Dita 1.1. Composite structured application to the Dita 1.1. Topic structured application. Then I dirtied the source file and saved it. The messages I got in FrameMaker log window included the one above, plus I got a variety of Unknown Element messages, things like this:
Unknown element dita,
unknown element concept,
various attributes are not declared for concept,
unknown element conbody.
If I switch back to the Dita 1.1 Composite application all of these messages diappear except for this one:
Attribute '{http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/}ditaarch' is not declared for element 'dita'
My ant conversion scripts from the Dita Open Toolkit are still unable to process this file. They give the same message as is listed in (1) above and the file is not converted to HTML.
Can anyone help me with this problem? I've also posted this question to the Dita Users Group on Yahoo Groups. If I get an answer in one place, I'll post it in the other.
Thanks,
Nina P.
