CSS-based DITA to PDF CustomizationEdit online
Oxygen XML Editor comes bundled with a DITA-OT CSS-based PDF Publishing Plugin that combines all the topics from a map or bookmap and styles the resulting document using CSS. It is the base of the DITA Map PDF - based on HTML5 & CSS transformation scenario.
DITA Map to PDF - based on HTML5 and CSS Transformation Type
This transformation type uses a CSS-based processing engine and HTML5 as an intermediate
format. For this transformation, the pdf-css-html5 transtype is used.
Because the structure of the HTML5 intermediate format resembles the one used in WebHelp
output, it is possible to reuse parts of your CSS file you developed for a WebHelp
customization.
DITA Map PDF - based on DITA and CSS (WYSIWYG) Transformation Type (Deprecated)
This transformation type converts DITA maps to PDF using a CSS-based processing engine and
a merged DITA map (one with all topics expanded inline) as an intermediate format. For this
transformation, the pdf-css transtype is used. This transformation scenario
was deprecated starting with version 21.0. It is recommended to use the DITA Map PDF - based on HTML5 & CSS
transformation scenario instead.
