Hi Eliot, I believe the simplest way is to write a CSS that imports the css_classed/dita.css stylesheet and adds additional rules. Then you can set that as an alternate CSS in the DITA framework, or make it default and put the current one as alternative. This is how I have made for instance the hideColspec.css that hides the column specifications. If you want this only for one project then you can take advantage of the project level options (as I explained also in the previous thread on the list) and put the Document Type Association options at project level, disable the DITA framework, duplicate it as an internal framework (that means it will be stored in options, inside the project file) and then set your CSS in the new framework. Also in this case the CSS should import the default one from frameworks (dita/css_classed/dita.css) and just add the additional rules. Another possibility is to specify the CSS in the file. There are two possible scenarios here: 1. By default is a CSS is specified in the file for DITA that will replace the default one so you need to import the default one in that CSS to get also the default behavior. 2. You can edit the DITA framework and specify that the CSS specified in the file should be merged with the default one and then you can just add the in your CSS the new rules. For that you need to select the "merge them with CSSs from the associated doctype" option from Options->Preferences -- Document Type Association -- DITA -- Author -- CSS -- see the "If there are CSSs specified in the document then" group.

I have a DITA specialization and I want to extend the built-in Oxygen-provided authoring CSS for DITA topics to add some stuff (but not modify the base formatting).
What's the best way to set this up to minimize configuration/deployment headache without simply copying and modifing the built-in one?
Thanks,
Eliot
