Get an @if is deprecated error for html5 transform

[Jonathan Hanna]

Hi all,

When trying to run an html5 transform using the default plugin, I get the following error multiple times:

file:/C:/dita-ot-3.4/plugins/org.dita.html5/build_dita2html5.xml:226:71: [DOTA014W][WARN] Attribute @if is deprecated. Use attribute @if:set instead.

My transform was successful, so I'm assuming this error message can be ignored. Even if the error message can be ignored, error messages are still unsettling to newbies :-). Is this issue normal? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Jonathan Hanna

Hi Jonathan,

If you download a stock DITA OT 3.4 and look in the " plugins/org.dita.html5/build_dita2html5.xml " at line 226 there is no such construct there.

I'm assuming you installed additional plugins in your DITA OT and one of those plugins added extra parameters to the HTML5 build file.

Regards,

Radu

Hi Radu,

You are correct in your assumption. I have installed additional plugins. I had no idea that other plugins could add parameters to the stock plugin build files!

I first noticed this error when using the org.doctales.reveal plugin, so I wonder if this is the source of the issue.

You can see the parameters it is added in the file, insertParameters.xml. I am using DITA-OT 3.3.4 and I only get that warning when using something like:

<params xmlns:if="ant:if">
<param name="xsltParam" expression="${ant.prop}" if="ant.prop"/>
</params>

If I remove the namespace attribute or changed @if to @if:set, the warning goes away. Not using 3.4 because of another issue, so not sure what the difference might be.
