Customizing the DITA DTD

You can associate an instance of the DITA-OT with your Stationery design project to apply and track DITA specialization through the Stationery.

To customize the DITA DTD and apply the DITA specialization

  1. In your Stationery design project, on the View menu, click Project Directory. For more information about override files and locations, see Stationery, Projects, and Overrides.

  2. Create the Formats\Helpers\dita-ot-<version> folder in your <projectname> folder, where projectname is the name of your Stationery design project.

  3. Copy the contents of the following folder to the override folder you created within your project folder:

    Program Files\WebWorks\ePublisher Designer\Helpers\dita-ot-<version>

  4. Open the dita-ot-<version> folder you copied to your project override folder and apply the DTD changes you need for your DITA specialization. Typically this means running the ant integrate task to install your DITA-OT plug-ins.

  5. Save and close the modified files.

  6. Regenerate your project to review the changes.
