taking my catalog.xml into account when using oXygen+DITA framework ?

Hi, first post ;-)
I did search a bit the archives but not sure there's yet an answer to this one.

Although I know where to specify a ditaval file in a transformation scenario, I don't know if I should also tell oXygen I'm using my own catalog.xml file in my customization folder, because my overrides are not all taken into account :-(

Is oXygen supposed to read it by default or should I set something up first ?

Many thanks in advance

Hello,

If you have a custom catalog you have to link it from the default catalog catalog-dita.xml of DITA-OT which is located in OXYGEN-INSTALL-FOLDER/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT. You should add a line like the following to the end of catalog-dita.xml where the path is relative to the location of catalog-dita.xml (you can use also a full URI):

Code: Select all

  <nextCatalog catalog="../../your-folder/catalog.xml"/>

Regards,
Sorin
