Which is why I had originally inquired as to whether our styling flexibility might be worth giving to other customers. I have managed to get the example you pointed me to http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/manual-6.html#customAttributeSet working, but there are some rough edges: at the very bottom of the page, it says: Alternatively add the following -xslt2 options to your ditac.options file. ... -xslt2 docx absolute_filename_of_custom_fo.xsl ... but the switch -xslt2 does not work. I think it should be -xslt instead. Also, on that page, there is a link: http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/customize/custom_fo.xsl however if you just blindly download that file assuming that the contents match the text on the web page, you'll find it doesn't work. http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/customize/custom_fo.xsl is missing the name space declarations (which are present on the main page). It looks as if I'm well on my way to simple customizations. Thanks! -Doug -- XMLmind DITA Converter Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/ditac-support
