Please find attached to this email a working configuration for your DITA customization. I had to do too many changes (including to yours DTDs: no IBM stuff please, we switched to OASIS!) to have something that works. I'll not attempt to explain these changes here. Everything you need to known is explained in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/index.html. Please *carefully* study what I did. *Every* *detail* *is* *important*. Note that the attached configuration (directory syllabus/) must be installed *side* *by* *side* with the stock dita_dtd_configuration/. That is, to make it easier maintaining the customization, I preferred not to mix it with the stock DITA configuration. Two caveats are worth mentioning: [1] if you have dita_dtd_configuration/dita.xxe and syllabus/syllabus.xxe installed side by side and that both configurations are called "DITA", then XXE will pick dita_dtd_configuration/dita.xxe. This is not what we want, therefore the dirty trick is to rename syllabus/syllabus.xxe to syllabus/0syllabus.xxe [2] If you want to use "Convert to HTML" and "Convert to PDF" then, *unfortunately* you'll also have to patch dita_dtd_configuration/dost/catalog-dita.xml and add to it: --- <!-- jdwilliamsinfodesign DTDs --> <public publicId="-//JDW//DTD JDW Syllabus//EN" uri="../../syllabus/syllabus.dtd"/> <public publicId="-//JDW//ELEMENTS JDW Syllabus//EN" uri="../../syllabus/syllabus.mod"/> --- (dita_dtd_configuration/dost/catalog-dita.xml is part of the bundled DITA Open toolkit) Note that writing syllabus.css was not really needed, using the stock CSS "DITA topic (classed)" works fine and in fact better than syllabus.css. Please use the View menu to give "DITA topic (classed)" a test drive. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
