This test build provides insight into development progress toward the next toolkit release, which is scheduled to support the upcoming DITA 1.2 specification. For details, see the wiki page titled “Plans for DITA Open Toolkit version 1.5.”

Among the changes in Milestone 10 are a number of updates to the PDF2 plugin. The print=no attribute setting is now honored, and a new basic settings file has been added to the plugin to make customization easier. For the full list of changes, see “Plans for the DITA Open Toolkit PDF2 Plug-in.”

To store customizations for Project A and Project B, copy the contents of your customization folder (typically DITA-OT\demo\fo\Customization) to

  • DITA-OT\demo\fo\Customization-A and
  • DITA-OT\demo\fo\Customization-B,

then add lines like this to your projects’ build scripts:

<param name="customization.dir" value="DITA-OT/demo/fo/Customization-A"/>
