Docuneering - S1000D CMP - List of effective data modules

The stylesheets for this ATA CMP solution are written to the W3C XSL-FO standard and are published to PDF using the free and open-source Apache FOP print formatter.

We are also reviewing the process of converting an S1000D Publication Module into a CMP to implement a pure XSL delivery solution.

ATA CMP Table of contents

A bit of a pain with the Table of contents as you need the contents to build into a table. Made a good start but we will continue to work on this as we create more test data:

A busy start to the week

First two screen shots are a "standard build" method but the List of suppliers is using the Common Information Repository (CIR) to lookup the Suppliers details:

Also spent a bit of time reviewing the ATA CMP PDF bookmarks.

If there is only a single Data Module in a Topic then the bookmark links directly to that Data Module. If there are multiple Data Modules within a Topic, the bookmark will link to the first Data Module but the bookmark will also have a sub-level which lists all of the Data Modules included in the Topic.

- UPDATE: Tuesday, 3rd May 2022

Getting close now!

Footnotes are configured at the Topic level and create a continuous count from start to finish.

Top level CDCCL marking can be included at the data module or even the Topic level by marking the publication module <pmEntry> element:
