Hi, does Serna 3.8 support the <fo:inline vertical-align="super"> property? It doesn't seem to work for me. If not, is there another method to generate this effect? thanks in advance, Jakob.
Folks; We've run across an interesting problem at my company. For Windows installations, Serna style sheets for the WYSIWYG window use Helvetica as the default font. Of course, Helvetica is not a standard font on Windows systems, so somewhere in the system (haven't figured out where) a substitution is carried out (probably to Arial). That's all fine and good if a user doesn't have a Helvetica font package installed. But in our case, many users have an old, non-unicode, Helvetica package installed. Because of this, characters such as Greek symbols aren't displayed properly, nor do all of the glyphs show up in the Insert Symbol... dialog box. Would anyone have a huge problem if Syntext were to update the default Serna style sheets to specify Arial as the default font (at least for Windows installs)? On all recent versions of Windows, an OpenType (unicode) Arial package is included in the base installation. Regards, Bob
But the site wants me to input serial number and password. Well, I assume the serial number is the serial number in serna.lic but password? I bought serna2 two and a half years ago so I have forgotten the password. How do I retrieve/recover it? Regards, Johan
I just installed 4.1b under Mac OS X 10.5.4 on an Intel-based MacBook, and encountered one serious problem: I can't resize the main window by click-dragging the lower left corner. There's no "grab handle" (although the window can be maximized with the green button in the upper right). Bob

Unfortunately I didn't manage to reproduce the issue again. We are working Serna-4 out hard now and we are planing to issue Serna-4.1b soon. As soon as it releases, can you please retest this crash. > I was hoping that instead of trying to reproduce the crash you have a > way to log the crashlog from the application, to be able to find out > which function crashed and where. As you know random crashes depend on > many parameters and aren't easy to reproduce. We use such mechanism for Serna-3.X. But this functionality hasn't existed for Serna-4 yet. We are working it out. That's way I asked you about step-by-step description of reproducing the crash.(Continue reading)
Hello Michel, > I do have a question: I'm desperately looking for a way to change the > header and footertexts of the pdf file I generate through Serna. I'd > also like to be able to add our company logo to the header. Your use-case is connected not with Serna but with DITA OT, which Serna uses for publishing to PDF or HTML. You may find all the documentation about it here: http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/ If you want to change header and footer of the generated pdf file, you have to change DITA OT's xsl files. I've prepared a small sample for you - how to work with xsl files: <!-- header --> <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before" font-size="9pt" font-family="Helvetica"> <fo:block linefeed-treatment="ignore" text-align-last="justify"> <fo:inline text-align="start"> <!-- here's some text which appear in header--> <xsl:text>New header content</xsl:text> </fo:inline> </fo:block> </fo:static-content>(Continue reading)
Hi, I'm new to DITA and serna. I've downloaded a trial version and created a small dita test document from which I wanted to generate a pdf. All of this worked wonderfully, however I want to add my own header and footer to the generated pdf and cannot find out how to achieve this. I've looked in many forums, faqs and tutorials, but without avail. Maybe someone on this list can give me hint, how I can achieve this. Thanks!
Beims Bob would like to recall the message, "[Serna] Configure Serna to use XEP processor".

Sorry for the delay in answering your letter. I tried to reproduce the problem with crash but I was failed. I did the following: -create two DITA 1.1 Concept documents -drap and drop some documents from external file browser to Serna -edit some document (type text, insert elements including <xref>) -save documents. Can you please provide me with some more details about this crash? Thank you. Regards, Nadia Sidorova. > > Nadezhda Sidorova wrote: >> Hello, >> >>> That's no problem.
