I'm sorry but I have no idea how to do this with a DITA Bookmap (I could have answered your question easily in the case of a DocBook document). Note that a simple, clean, (and natural for DITA) way to perform conditional processing is to specify a different bookmap for each product. > Also is it possible to create a ODF or Word file from a DITA Bookmap > using XXE? If so how is this done please? > In theory, this is possible simply by substituting XMLmind XSL-FO Converter (an XSL-FO processor that converts XSL-FO to RTF, WML, ODT, .docx) to Apache FOP (another XSL-FO processor that renders XSL-FO as PDF and PostScript). In practice, I don't know how to do that. The reason is that, unlike all the other configurations (DocBook, Slides, XHTML), the DITA configuration relies on the DITA Open Toolkit, a ``technology'' not really mastered by XMLmind, to convert DITA documents to other formats. We plan to completely get rid of the DITA Open Toolkit in the next few months. Meanwhile, I'm sorry not to be able to help you more.
