If you followed this recipe: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/dtd_example.html , then you need to remove what you did because this recipe is not adapted to a DITA specialization. The aforementioned recipe is adapted to custom document types. A DITA specialization cannot be considered to be a custom document type. It's rather the normal way to use DITA. > > > > I?ve found > > > > http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/add_css.html > > > > But I?m not sure what directory custom/ is.

This specialization adds a tag element to the topic DTD. A tag element has a required kind attribute. The values allowed for the kind attribute are: attribute, attvalue, element, emptytag, endtag, genentity, localname, namespace, numcharref,paramentity, pi, prefix, comment, starttag. This configuration has been created by customizing the stock DITA topic configuration as explained in Chapter 5, Customizing an existing configuration. --- Please take a look at all the files found in topic_plus_tag/ and try to guess how it works. In order to use the topic_plus_tag custom configuration (which extends and overrides the stock DITA configuration): [1] Copy the whole topic_plus_tag/ directory (i.e. including topmost "topic_plus_tag" filename) to XXE_user_preferences_dir/addon/ [2] Restart XXE. [3] Use File|New, DITA|Topic. to create a new <topic> [4] Click inside a <p> and insert a <tag> element (new element specified by this sample DITA specialization) --- XXE_user_preferences_dir is: * $HOME/.xxe4/ on Linux. * $HOME/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/XMLEditor4/ on the Mac. * %APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\ on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7. Example: C:\Documents and Settings\john\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\ on Windows 2000 and XP. C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor4\ on Windows Vista and 7. ---
