DOTJ021EDOTJ021EErrorFile '%1' will not generate output because because all content has been filtered out by DITAVAL "exclude" conditions, or because the file is not valid DITA. DOTJ021WDOTJ021WWarningFile '%1' will not generate output since it is invalid or all of its content has been filtered out by the ditaval file. Please check the file '%1' and the ditaval file to see if this is the intended result. DOTJ022FDOTJ022FFatalFailed to parse the input file '%1' because all of its content has been filtered out. This will happen if the input file has filter conditions on the root element, and a ditaval excludes all content based on those conditions. DOTJ023EDOTJ023EErrorFailed to get the specified image file '%1', so it will not be included with your output.

Add a mapping between default language and desired language for the string '%1'. DOTX002WDOTX002WWarningThe title element or attribute in the ditamap is required for Eclipse output. DOTX003IDOTX003IInfoThe anchorref attribute should either reference another dita map or an Eclipse XML TOC file. The value '%1' does not appear to reference either. DOTX004IDOTX004IInfoFound a navref element that does not reference anything. The navref element should either reference another dita map or an Eclipse XML file. DOTX005EDOTX005EErrorUnable to find navigation title for reference to '%1'. The build will use '%1' as the title in the Eclipse Table of Contents. DOTX006EDOTX006EErrorUnknown file extension in href="%1". References to non-DITA resources should set the format attribute to match the resource (for example, 'txt', 'pdf', or 'html'). DOTX007IDOTX007IInfoOnly DITA topics, HTML files, and images may be included in your compiled CHM file. The reference to "%1" will be ignored.

Remove the duplicate id in the referenced file. DOTX012WDOTX012WWarningWhen you conref another topic or an item in another topic, the domains attribute of the target topic must be equal to or a subset of the current topic's domains attribute. Put your target under an appropriate domain. You can see the messages guide for more help. DOTX013EDOTX013EErrorA element with attribute conref="%1" indirectly includes itself, which results in an infinite loop. DOTX014EDOTX014EErrorThe attribute conref="%1" uses invalid syntax. Conref references to a map element should contain '#' followed by an ID, such as mymap.ditamap#mytopicrefid. DOTX015EDOTX015EErrorThe attribute conref="%1" uses invalid syntax. The value should contain '#' followed by a topic or map ID, optionally followed by '/elemID' for a sub-topic element.

DOTX018IDOTX018IInfoThe type attribute on a topicref was set to '%1', but the topicref references a more specific '%2' topic. Note that the type attribute cascades in maps, so the value '%1' may come from an ancestor topicref. DOTX019WDOTX019WWarningThe type attribute on a topicref was set to '%1', but the topicref references a '%2' topic. This may cause your links to sort incorrectly in the output.

If you want to use your own plug-in id, please specify it using the id attribute on your map. DOTX052WDOTX052WWarningNo string named '%1' was found when creating generated text; using the value '%1' in your output file. DOTX053EDOTX053EErrorA element that references another map indirectly includes itself, which results in an infinite loop. The original map reference is to '%1'. DOTX054WDOTX054WWarningConflict text style is applied on the current element based on DITAVAL flagging rules. Please check ditaval and dita source to make sure there is no style conflict on the element which needs to be flagged. DOTX055WDOTX055WWarningCustomized stylesheet uses deprecated template "flagit".

DOTX062IDOTX062IInfoIt appears that this document uses constraints, but the conref processor cannot validate that the target of a conref is valid. To enable constraint checking, please upgrade to an XSLT 2.0 processor. DOTX063WDOTX063WWarningThe dita document '%1' is linked to from your content, but is not referenced by a topicref tag in the ditamap file. Include the topic in your map to avoid a broken link. DOTX064WDOTX064WWarningThe copy-to attribute [copy-to="%1"] uses the name of a file that already exists, so this attribute is ignored. DOTX065WDOTX065WWarningTwo unique source files each specify copy-to="%2", which results in a collision. The value associated with href="%1" is ignored. DOTX066WDOTX066WWarningTemplate "%1" is deprecated. Remove references to this template from your custom XSLT or plug-ins. DOTX067EDOTX067EErrorNo string named '%1' was found for language '%2'.

DOTX075WDOTX075WWarningA content reference in a constrained document type is pulling content from an unconstrained document type. The reference will resolve, but may result in content that violates one of the document constraints in "%1". DOTX076EDOTX076EErrorA content reference in a constrained document type cannot be resolved because it would violate one of the document constraints "%1". The current constrained document may only reuse content from documents with equivalent constraints. INDX001IINDX001IInfoIndex entry '%1' will be sorted under the "Special characters" heading. INDX002EINDX002EErrorThe PDF indexing process could not find the proper sort location for '%1', so the term has been dropped from the index. INDX003EINDX003EErrorThe build failed due to problems encountered when sorting the PDF index.
