Oxygen XML Forum

Hi.

I'm using the Oxygen XML editor for editing my DITA content. For publishing I however have adapted my own transformation scenario for PDFs. I would however like to copy the styling of "glossarylist" that the oxygen transformation pdf scenario uses. The out of box dita-ot/pdf2 looks really bad. I dont understand how to configure the glossary-xsl files to make it look like oxygens pdf-scenario. Could you please send some tips for this?

Regards
Kristian

Hi,

If you are trying to customize the DITA-OT PDF2 transformation, a good starting point could be the following customization (we use this customization for our user manual):
https://github.com/oxygenxml/com.oxygenxml.pdf2.ug

Other resources that might help you are:
* The 'Customizing PDF output' topic from the DITA-OT documentation
http://www.dita-ot.org/2.4/dev_ref/pdf- ... ation.html
* The DITA Users mailing list: http://dita.xml.org/dita-users

However, the customization of the DITA-OT PDF2 plugin requires good knowledge of XSLT and XSL-FO technologies. If you don't have these skills, another possibility to produce PDF is to use the predefined 'DITA Map PDF - WYSIWYG' transformation scenario. This transformation is based on the CSS technology. Thus, to customize it you need to know CSS technology.

You can read more about this transformation and how to customize it in our user manual:
