The easiest way to create a new Oxygen Publishing Template is to select an existing
template in the transformation scenario dialog box and use the Save
template as button to save that template into a new template package
that can be used as a starting point.
To create a new Oxygen Publishing Template, follow these steps:
-
Open the transformation scenario dialog box and select the publishing template
you want to export and use as a starting point.
- Optional:
You can set one or more transformation parameters from the
Parameters tab and the edited parameters will be
exported along with the selected template. You will see which parameters will be
exported in the dialog box that is displayed after the next step.
-
Click the Save template as button.
This opens a template package configuration dialog box that contains
some options and displays the parameters that will be exported to your template
package.
-
Specify a name for the new template.
- Optional:
Specify a template description.
- Optional:
The same publishing template package can contain both a WebHelp Responsive and
PDF customization and you can use the same template in both types of
transformations (DITA Map WebHelp Responsive or DITA
Map to PDF - based on HTML5 & CSS). You can use the
Include WebHelp customization and Include
PDF customization options to specify whether your custom
template will include both types of customizations.
- Optional:
For WebHelp Responsive customizations, you can select the
Include HTML Page Layout Files option if you want to
copy the default HTML Page Layout Files in your template package. They
are helpful if you want to change the structure of the generated HTML
pages.
-
In the Save as field, specify the name and path of the
ZIP file where the template will be saved.
