dita command line Error: Unsupported option --mmpdf:showProperties

[corinna...@gmail.com]

Good day all,

I'm using DITA-OT 4.2.1, and want to use the dita command to set a property called 'mmpdf:showProperties' to Y

I can do this in a properties file if the ':' is backslashed:

  mmpdf\:showProperties=N

but whatever I do to set the property on the windows command line (running from powershell or a cmd), for example:

  dita -i "test.ditamap" -f mmpdf --mmpdf:showProperties="N" -v

  dita -i "test.ditamap" -f mmpdf --mmpdf\:showProperties="N" -v

results in the "Error: Unsupported option --mmpdf:showProperties"

even though it shows as an allowed option in the help message:

  --mmpdf:showProperties=<value>                                       Set to Y to include PDF tooltips showing Miramo format definitions; N for production; or property 

Any ideas? Or am I doomed to failure?

Or any thoughts on cool ideas for adding option name aliases ...? 

Unfortunately (really!) it's too late to change all the option names to use . instead of : which is what should have been done in the first place :(

TIA and best wishes!

Hi Corinna,

 

please read https://www.dita-ot.org/dev/topics/build-using-dita-command

I'd try

-Dmmpdf:showProperties=N
or

-Dmmpdf\:showProperties=N

Good luck
