[oXygen-user] Custom DTDs with default Oxygen OT

[Scott Prentice]

Thanks, Stefan!

Yeah .. I was hoping to avoid having the users install a plugin .. just 
install the framework. But I can see that's not going to fly. I'm 
thinking that the simplest (least effort for the users, and least 
opportunity for error), is to provide a pre-configured OT installation 
that they can point to from Preferences. It'll just be ..

     1) Install framework,
     2) Point to custom OT in Preferences

That way if something goes sideways, they haven't messed with the detail 
Oxygen installation.

Cheers,
...scott
