Starting from XMLmind DITA Converter v2.2 (March 13, 2012), you have a great deal of control on headers and footers both. And frankly, we cannot do more than this. What we have done is already slightly too complicated to learn and use. > Specifically, we need to include text in the page footer indicating > the document is company confidential.

I'm sure that you can achieve what you want by directly using the facilities implemented in ditac v2.2+. See "Specifying a header or a footer" -- http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__header_footer_spec The above section describes how to specify the layout and content of a header/footer. Beyond this, you can use CSS styles and XSL attribute-sets to style the contents of the 3 columns comprising a header/footer. In order to learn which CSS styles/XSL attribute-sets you'll have to specify, there is, for now, no other solution than reading the XSL source of ditac (which is found in ditac_install_dir/xsl/xhtml/, ditac_install_dir/xsl/fo/, etc). > The changes for 2.2 (March 13, 2012) broke our customizations and > we've so far chosen to stick with the 2.1.0_01 (December 15, 2011) > release because the customizations are just too extensive (require > duplicating a lot of XSLT that we don't change to just make a few > small changes). > > We're hoping that other folks would find changing the footer fontsize > and color useful, but we have not yet undertaken the effort to > customize the 2.2 and newer releases. > -- XMLmind DITA Converter Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/ditac-support
