Probably because your company custom templates are not detected as being DITA documents. > A couple of ideas: > > 1) Is the problem that the individual who drew up the instructions to > configure XML Mind (no, it wasn't I who developed the templates and DTDs, > alas) has me adding the CSS and the templates to the original topic.xxe, not > a customization of it? Find the modified topic.xxe attached, you'll see the > added CSS and templates. Yes, that's right. You sent me a slightly hacked, stock topic.xxe. Note that the instructions left by the person who did the specialization are now obsolete. They cannot be applied to XXE v4.5, which now bundles DITA support. > 2) Is there something I need to add to the DTD or the DITA template? I've already answered this kind of question in my previous email: [1] you need to forget the instructions left by the previous consultant; [2] just reuse the generic components he created: DTD and CSS, and forget about all the XXE configuration files he left; [3] do it by the book by following what's explained in: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/customizing.html I'm really sorry but I cannot do much more to help you. (What you are trying to do is not that simple.) --- PS: If you are really stuck, please consider using this service: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/customization_service.html
