DITA project setup

[scottbdr]

Hi, I'm trying to experiment a bit with Oxygen's DITA capabilities however I seem to have some sort of configuration problem with the document type. I have created a new project using the Start Up DITA Project, however any of the DITA files (.dita, .ditamap). Seems like there should be an xml catalog to glue things together but I wasn't expecting to have to provide the glue myself - it doesn't appear any of the instructions/tutorials mention this. I get similar results when I just try to create a DITA file without the project setup. What am I missing?

Thanks, Scott

Hi Scott,

Do your maps and topics use DITA DTD specializations or are they using the base DITA DTDs/schemas?
Can you give me some screenshots with how your Oxygen "Preferences->DITA" and "Preferences->Document Type Association" pages look like?

Regards,
Radu

Thanks Radu, I sorted this out - my XML Catalog preferences had prefer system rather than public. I figured it had to be some sort of catalog issue since it wasn't finding the dtd. Resetting to defaults fixed the problem. Thanks for the response!
