Easy 
Leigh White 
DITA Specialist

Presented at DITA-OT Day 
November 2014
Me 
• Background in Theoretical Linguistics 
• Technical Writer who moved into Information 
Architecture 
• Not a developer…just stubborn 
• Willing to experiment, willing to break things
Why is this important? 
• You need a POC to get the approval for a DITA 
migration 
• You need a developer to design the outputs for the 
POC 
• You probably can’t get funds just for a POC 
developer 
• It’s up to YOU!
The Easy 
• Creating a PDF plugin 
• Editing localization variables 
• Formatting text 
 Titles 
 Body text 
 Note labels 
 Lists
The Not So Easy 
• Finding the file to edit 
• Configuring fonts 
• Formatting tables 
• Formatting the TOC
The Stupidly Hard 
• Setting up pages 
• Changing header and footer information 
• Formatting the index
Troubleshooting 
• topic.fo
