Kim and Laura, I'm curious if you use an xml editor to edit the DITA, or
do you use a text editor?
I use a text editor. I tried to use ArborText, which accommodates the
DTD just fine, but found that it changed the line endings in the files,
making the diffs invalid -- that is, the diffs file showed changes in
addition to the actual content changes. It also sticks an Arbortext
comment into each file.

I use Arbortext. If the new files are setup to be eol independent
(can't recall the command that you apply to the files, but it is
probably on the Derby wiki) then that is not a problem. I use a tool
called Search and Replace to remove the Arbortext comment line after I
have completed my edits.


According to http://db.apache.org/derby/manuals/dita.html, the commands to be put in the .subversion/config file are

*.dita = svn:eol-style=native
*.ditamap = svn:eol-style=native
*.out = svn:eol-style=native

My diff files always indicate that this property is set -- for example,

 Property changes on: src/ref/rrefattribtracedirectory.dita
 ___________________________________________________________________
 Name: svn:eol-style
    + native

But this should have no effect on the behavior of Arbortext. Maybe Arbortext works differently on Windows and UNIX. We have a UNIX version.
