Hi Radu,

I'm trying to add some customizations to my PDF transform, but when I add them to the Customization folder they don't appear in the output. When I hack the OT and add them directly to the files they publish fine. Can you let me know where I'm going wrong?

I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.4 if that makes a difference.

I want to remove the italics on hyperlinks. I've commented out the following code in /demo/fo/cfg/fo/attrs/commons-attr.xsl and the italics are removed when I publish to PDF:

<xsl:attribute-set name="common.link">
<xsl:attribute name="color">blue</xsl:attribute>
<!-- removing italics for links -->
<!-- <xsl:attribute name="font-style">italic</xsl:attribute> -->
</xsl:attribute-set>

Now I try and add this customization to the Customization folder:
1. Copy the Customization folder to /Users/heather/Documents/WorkingFolder_SVN
2. Copy commons-attr.xsl to the following folder location:
/Users/heather/Documents/WorkingFolder_SVN/Customization/fo/attrs
3. Rename the file commons-attr-custom.xsl and make the change above to remove italics from hyperlinks.
4. In /Users/heather/Documents/WorkingFolder_SVN/Customization, rename catalog.xml.orig to catalog.xml
5. In catalog.xml, uncomment <uri name="cfg:fo/attrs/custom.xsl" uri="fo/attrs/custom.xsl"/>
6. In /Users/heather/Documents/WorkingFolder_SVN/Customization/fo/attr, rename custom.xml.orig to custom.xml
7. Change custom.xml so it reads:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
version="1.0">
<xsl:import href="commons-attr-custom.xsl"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
8. In the DITA Map PDF scenario, change the customization.dir parameter to /Users/heather/Documents/WorkingFolder_SVN/Customization
9. Publish... hyperlinks are still in italics.

Where am I going wrong? I've followed all the steps in your previous post here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/post1864 ... dir#p18642

Thanks
Heather

Hi Heather,

In steps (6) and (7) you were actually referring to the custom.xsl.orig and custom.xsl, right?

These steps worked for me but with one other modification, instead of commenting the line:
replace it with:
It seems that if the line is commented out, somehow the font-style is set to italic from somewhere else, I did not have the time to find out from where.

Regards,
Radu

Thanks Radu, it's publishing correctly now.
