Example - Customizing the DITA Framework

If you look inside the bundle-frameworks\oxygen-frameworks folder distributed with the Oxygen XML Author Component sample project, it contains a frameworks folder. Customizations that affect the framework configuration for the component should first be done in a standalone installation of Oxygen XML Editor.

The Oxygen XML Editor installation also includes a frameworks folder that contains the dita framework located in [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]\frameworks\dita. The dita framework contains a bundled DITA-OT distribution that contains the DTDs used for DITA editing. If your DTD specialization is a DITA-OT plugin, it should be installed in the DITA-OT-DIR\plugins folder.

To make changes to the DITA framework configuration, open the Preferences dialog box (Options > Preferences), go to Document Type Association, and edit or extend the framework. These changes will affect the [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]\frameworks\dita\dita.framework configuration file.

After you do this, you can re-pack the Oxygen XML Author Component following the instructions from the README.html file located in the Oxygen XML Author Component sample project. The Author Component sample project and the Oxygen XML Editor standalone installation should be of the same version.
