print_local.xml Customizing the available publishing options

[leo71]

Hi,

In the XMetal Help there is a topic “Publishing configuration files”

Can you please refresh my mind:

(1) In …AuthorDITAXACssharedrenditionsprint_.xml
i add one or a few new configurations
(2) Start XMetal
(3) Select Tools > Configure Output
(4) Click Add
(5) Select at the bottom one of my new options, and enter some details.
(6) Now I open my ditamap and select the new option and I get the error message:
    “manageInstruction: invalid configuraion ID”

2, 3 years ago when developing our first plugins for XMetal 5.5 I remember to have the same issue, but I forgot the problem & solution.
– Is it in missing parameters?
– Is there a mismatch between the IDs?
– Do I need to edit the …AuthorDITAXACssharedrenditionsprint_local.xml ?

I think I found it.

My custom print_……xml was missing a section

I was assuming it was added in some way to the master, but these stay separate and so need globals.
